WOW!!!
Just incredible work. I need to stop by sometime and see one of these in person.
Neat! This is what I love about Trad Gang. This is stuff I didn't even know about. How is it that I live just north of Kansas City and I didn't know about this.
Chip that is awesome. Can't wait to see it all. Then I'll start asking more questions.
Chris
very nice indeed !
Thanks, everybody!
BMN and Chris, Would love to show a piece in person. I have been told by many of my clients that the pictures don't do them justice. I think that is primarily because you dont see the 3d effect of the carving to well in a photo.
My only problem is every piece I have done so far has been an order so the only piece I have is the current one I am working on. We could meet at our trad archery range in DeSoto and fling some arrows and I could bring the latest piece for ya'll to see.
Chris, do you know any art gallery owners in Weston that might be open to my style of work. If I can ever find the time I want to create some pieces I can sell in a gallery.
here is the latest...
still got alot to do on the lion, but getting closer!

Every time I see your work I'm just speehless.
Truly a gift from God......
Thanks for sharing ..........
Mark
Absolutely amazing.
You've got yourself a future customer in me, that's for sure. The day I take down a buffalo, I'll have it eternalized (is that a word?)!
WOW..Chip i thought the Lion was going to be the toughest project to date and give you some problems. It is magnificent.
Detail is amazing! The shadows across the lion are outstanding.
Beautiful Beautiful!
Thanks everybody!
Les, you are right the lion was a challenge! Can't tell you how much time I wasted looking at it and trying to figure out the best way to do it!
Whelp, think I am done! That is if I can ever get Marty to reply to emails with an inscription!
