[Woodcarver] Segmented snakes ...

[Classic Carving Patterns]

Hey Big Dog,

It's been forever since I have seen that design, but as I remember it
was a variation of the chain in the ball and chain carving.  Instead of
cutting out the square board with the starting cross that runs down the
length you laid out the snake chains then cut v's into where the links
come together.  That leaves enough wood on each section to belly out the
snake's body.  Sorry, I can see it in my head but it is very hard to
verbally explain ... But, again, think chain links.

Hey y'all,

Just had a fellow in the store and he asked me if I had ever seen a
snake 
that was put together with individual carved segments.  You carve the 
segments all the same and interlock them one after another to make the 
snake as long as you like.  Then the head and tail are added someway.

I told him it was funny he should ask about the snake because I had 
recently seen such a snake .... BUT I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE!!!!  It
sure 
is lousy getting old.  I know that the memory is the first thing to go,
but 
I can't remember what the next thing is!

Anybody out there give this old dog a hand so I can let this fellow 
know????

Thanks.

BIG DOG
