Thanks to everyone that looked in and commented.  BD, that is the real saloon/courthouse.  Surprisingly small for a public place.  Can't imagine how the jury was seated.  The judge must have stayed behind the bar which is probably less than 10' long.  Judge Roy Bean was known as the "Hanging Judge", but there is no record that he actually sentenced any one to hang.  Thanks all, Ray M

  Best clump of grapes I've seen in a long time, Ray.  :o)

  Is that one photo just a tourist spot or did Judge Roy Bean actually "administer justice" out of there???

  Thanks for sharing the beautiful sunsets!

  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
