Brilliant, how long do you get to do that? Black oil problem disappear? Looks good weather, were you cooking out there?

[harvey b davison]

That is bloody brilliant. I wish i had just a fraction of your talent.

Fantastic job Dave. It got even better as I walked round and round him a few times.... he was definitely engaging ! Was he a good chap and did you remember him with fondness ??

thanks all. black oil problem sorted when i ground the heels of the teeth off the chain... shame i didnt think of that right away but im not always bright

took about 20 hours all told i guess, maybe less. gave my poor recovering left hand a real workout and all! on saturday i was having to use the heel of my right hand on teh heal of the chainsaw to do plunge cuts 'cos my left hand was just knackered by then but was worth it. hope i get to carve again next year

Derv, I spoke to someone you know very recently and they were talking about carvers. They couldn't believe it when i said i know who you mean!

Super Carving! I aspire to be half as good. You have done a great job and should be very proud:)

Thanks mate. 2 and a half years since i started carving and i think its only now that i realise how much i have to learn.
