ha ha ok, I am making a dolphin out of oak which will be coming out of water which will be made of stainless steel and have a picture frame built into it, it is still in the 'shaping' process at the moment so here is a picture of one I did a couple of years ago which was made with mahogany and coated with car clear coat, and stainless water but no picture frame

well winter has been long (for me) and I can't do anything in the cold anymore as my joints stiffen up and make me look like the Gorgon attacked me,
still, I have managed to finish the 'dolphin' I was carving and as some showed an interest I thought I'd share a picture of it, (it will go to an animal charity to help raise money for animals)

I now have to clear up my shed and get my head in order to make a start on bringing the TDM back up to my acceptance, my best friend and riding partner passed away unexpectedly in January and it has left with with a 'what's the point' feeling but I am slowly overcoming it, so, soon'ish
