[Woodcarver] spanish galleon-sylda

[Sylda]

Maura, I can understand your sanding problem, but you have already done such
a great job carving, don¹t let the sanding stop you from having the final
results.  I know you¹ll finish it, enter it, and win with it!!!  I¹ll be
watching show results for pictures of your winning carving!!!!  Thanks for
sharing.
