[Woodcarver] ??? on American Indians

[Merrilee Johnson]

Thank you Doris for checking!  I guess that is almost final - it is 3 
strands to braid usually ;)
I appreciate all your help.

>>Good morning!

>>wanted to braid his hair - boy was that hard - he was beginning to think 
>>about not doing that part after all! - I kept thinking it wasn't done with 
>>3 strands but wrapped with only 2.  This might be easier to carve than 3.  
>>After looking at several sites,  trying it for myself and thinking about 
>>it a lot I decided to go to the experts!  So what do you think - 2 or 3?  
>>Thanks for you information!
