Re: Some of my wood carvings ......

Thanks SidNeilson, but these are just for show (art work), not for practical use. Walking/hiking sticks don't last very long when used. They are still available for sale. :) Kerby... Heck, where do I get the crote skins? I don't see a website link. Or a quote anywhere. Would make a great gift for m...

Re: Colored pencil drawing .....

Nice. All I'm good at is cartography, satire cartoons and murals to a lesser extent. Yet I have a lot of practice in those areas. If you ever need a map of my home territory or a map of a year's tropical systems in the Atlantic for general use, I'm your man I guess.

Painted Bluff Field Guide TVA property

I don't know how to post pics right now but the PBS pictographs I cleaned up with Alabama Arch and TVA include crotalus horridus, agkistrodon piscavorus and an unknown catfish.

Re: Some of my wood carvings ......

I'd love to have one of those walking sticks for herping, ghosttowning and cemetery hunting. I think a lot of people here on fhf would say likewise.

I feel that PFs should be used mostly for "paintings" than "true" photos. Although that opinion is biased toward personal experience.
