My 3 yr. old, Noah, practicing for the rodeo. You have to stay on the pig for 8 seconds. I never get tired of the thrill I experience when the grain pops after the oil is applied. Frog portion is finished. Next, to sand the base and oil this puppy! Aren't you thankful that the wood produces a black stain to warn chainsaw carvers to watch out for metal?! Look at this nasty chunk of chain killer I found embedded about 4 inches deep into the stump. Hoppin' along on this white oak stump carving in Chesapeake Virginia. www.customwoodcarvings.com Working on a white oak stump carving this week near Virginia Beach. I'll send more pics later. www.customwoodcarvings.com
