Mooney, I must've just missed you while I was writing my last reply...so thanks!
Likewise to Tama, Ben, and seeksurf...

Good catching up again T, and yeah, you'll know just what it was like carving that one. Once you let the tension out of those pieces it's touch and go. The shed was actually pretty tidy that day but it's a pigsty again now. I think I have the most cluttered workshop out of all the ones I've seen posted lately (yours would give it a good run though!)
I might have to tidy up if I'm expecting visitors?

Ben: "Split a stone or two" - which half do you want?
Keep an eye on your letter box... :wink:

Seek: it is the tropics this year - 6 months now of near perfect weather but it's usually way cooler. This just happens to be the best summer we've had in 10 years. It does get very hot in my shed, as it's in the direct path of the mid-late afternoon sun. I usually have the window blocked out and the fan going most days.

I had a ZIPFIZZ moment late today, with just a short amount of time before sundown to do something. Grabbed a stone & a pen, and laid down a few lines, followed by an hour of intermittent hacking with the handpiece:

Great to see a few more people's creative spaces posted in their threads too! MORE!
