[Woodcarver] nebraska stick carver

Thanks for the feed back.  I have several more to post on the web when 
time allows.  I am trying to establish a chronological view to track the 
carvings as my skills and interests evolve.

The snake sticks are all carved from 1 log.  Specifically the copper head 
was about 5 inches in diameter to start with.  The scales where all hand 
cut, I found that I could do about 1 inch an hour so there is a lot of 
time invested.  I do most everything by hand the power tools irritate me 
with the noise and dust.

Now that the weather is getting warmer my carving time will increase.  I 
really enjoy spending the weekends on the porch carving.  Winter is no fun 
for me.  I just finished an elephant cane, almost done carving my son a 
koala bear clinging to a tree branch, and just started another snake 
stick. busy, busy, busy...
