I like the pattern, I have a buddy who just collects Seahorses and he has about 45-50 of them. I will have to try and get him on here with some photos. Hope all is well with you.

It's in Tuxedo, NC. We also saw the largest fireworks display or one the largest I had ever seen . It's hard to imagine that this happened in Tuxedo. Those folks sure are patriotic.Hope you had a great 4th. I did eat to much and paid the price. Frank S.

I'm a little rusty, I haven't been to a club meeting in a couple of years and really need to inspect and polish my collection, but with trying to keep my companies afloat it's not easy.

I think I'm gonna' live! I have 2 doctor's appointments this week and then Ain't Donna goes on a dive trip down in Texas. Looks like I'll be batchin' this week-end.
Tslil, my knifemaker friend from Israel (where knives are ikllegal), will be in the 20th. I'm really looking forward to it. He's bringing his family and I can hardly wait. He makes some awesome knives.
I got a new seahorsie from Charles Hoover this week. It's a masterpiece in Damascus and Dinousaur Bone.
See ya later, my friend...

I'm gonna save my pits for you. Might not be "gooduns", but I don't know "spit about pits". I assume that I should lay them out in the sun to dry...right? At some point, I'll get your address and send you a box of pits.

Got some peaches this week, but they were small. The pits are 1-1 1/4" long. My wife reminded me that lots of the pits of the big Elberta peaches that we got last summer were split. Do you carve smaller pits, or do you stick with the big ones?
