[Woodcarver] Whatchacorv'n

[Ray Mighells]

Hi Y'all,  greetings from Del Rio TX.  We came down here hoping to escape the nasty NY winter, but the weather hasn't been what I expected.  We are at the Southwind Marina right on the shore of Amistad Lake created by dams on the Rio Grande River.  I have water on 3 sides and can see Mexico through my front window.  As you all know I haven't done much carving since I got my laser engraver,  so I brought along some blanks and tools.  I did a few cottonwood bark pieces (no pics) and am now working on a butternut panel 18X30 with grapes and leaves.  I started with one of Ivan's grape patterns and then used the background (ground) for additional elements I put in freehand.  It's still very much in the rough, but I would appreciate your comments on the project and my use of otherwise waste wood.  I'll probably add more to the bottom to balance with the top..  Take a peek if you like.. http://www.PictureTrail.com/razaxnstuff   Thanks, and best regards,  Ray Mighells
