<div>You know what my definition of a crazy carver is? Hand scaling
a 5 foot, almost 50 lb, hand carved codfish using a few #9 chisels and
a heavy mallet. While you are eating your hotdog's and macaroni salad,
I am hard at work doing this tedious labor as my deadline approaches at
the end of next week. Please eat a hamburger(make that a
cheeseburger) for me and keep me in your thoughts. I will either be
completely insane or dead by the time I am done the scales(and right
now I can't decide which would be the better outcome). But my fish
will be magnificent I think it will definitely outlive me. It is going
to a four star hotel up in Cape
Cod. After the scaling is finished I will be cutting and carving the
5 top and bottom fins, doing a little clean-up and sanding and then it
is on to the painting and antiquing. To quote Mr. T, "I love it when a
plan comes together". I am so happy that after weeks of gluing-up,
hacking away with large chisels and a 30 oz mallet and lots of hand
carving, it actually looks like what it is supposed to!</div>
