Now that's a very interesting concept, carving replicas of ancient  
coins, I have never seen it done before, and you have done an awesome  
job Tom, well done. I really enjoyed your sight. Thanks for showing it.
I am struggling - (just cut open the top of my finger yesterday with  
a #11 scalpel blade) to finish the second of two ships crests, (not  
on my sight yet). The first is being presented to the Royal York  
Hotel in Toronto by the ship, and the second is a leaving gift for  
the Executive Officer.

I just love show and tell. People are so talented!
I have two projects ongoing which are illustrated at the top of this  
page.

The carving you see propped against my car is the largest I have ever  
done measuring a good 4’ x 3’.
It is modeled on a panel from the Ara Pacis (Altar of Peace) built by  
Augustus about the year 1. Tellus the Earth Mother is in the center  
with personifications of sky and water at her sides. At the rate I  
carve, this will take me another year to complete.

I look forward to viewing other carvers’ works.
