Just incredible work. I need to stop by sometime and see one of these in person.

Missouri CK · June 16, 2010, 11:15:00 PM

Neat! This is what I love about Trad Gang. This is stuff I didn't even know about. How is it that I live just north of Kansas City and I didn't know about this.

Chip that is awesome. Can't wait to see it all. Then I'll start asking more questions.

very nice indeed !

Hooked · June 17, 2010, 01:20:00 AM

Thanks, everybody!

BMN and Chris, Would love to show a piece in person. I have been told by many of my clients that the pictures don't do them justice. I think that is primarily because you dont see the 3d effect of the carving to well in a photo.

My only problem is every piece I have done so far has been an order so the only piece I have is the current one I am working on. We could meet at our trad archery range in DeSoto and fling some arrows and I could bring the latest piece for ya'll to see.

Chris, do you know any art gallery owners in Weston that might be open to my style of work. If I can ever find the time I want to create some pieces I can sell in a gallery.

here is the latest...

still got alot to do on the lion, but getting closer!

Every time I see your work I'm just speehless.

Truly a gift from God......

Thanks for sharing ..........
