    That is a beauty Frank. Simple form and finish looks great. Feathering in the wood is fantastic.

    I like the simplistic form of that but the figure on that puppy is great. I love walnut.

    Gorgeous!

    Frank, That has a very nice tight feather in the crotchwood and lots of sublte color changes in the wood! Great simple and elegant design, it really lets the figure in the wood stand out!

    Great job,
