[Woodcarver] Congratulations for you!

[Merrilee Johnson]

Congratulations on your way to fame and fortune!  Just a thought and maybe 
someone eles will have it too or a better one but what about carving the 
chain out of wood separate then installing it like you would have a real 
metal chain so its loose.  Is that what you thought or was it to carve it 
connected to the relief?  What ever you do it will be super I'm sure!  Good 
luck and have fun!!
