    Thumb-Syc A sculpture

    Nicked up (er caved thumb) embedded in Sycamore.
    Took 50 plus years to get the thumb to look like that. Heck the blood even looks real.

    If I had a nickle for every plate and bowl I put my thumb through here lately I'd have a dollar or two.

    You always need a tray to dump/sort screws, bolts, etc., then funnel them back into the container. Yours is now legendary......... Any thought about a patent?

    Now all you need to do is turn a clean hole out of the center, put a wood plug in it and do an inlace inlay to bring the two together. Been there, done that.

    What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.

    WOW! Lots of good ideas, I may have to learn how to do this more often, and create a market.
    Lets see, how many painters do I know?

    Good one Nick
