FINKY, Thanks for the props, In all honestly, the wood started out as a straight piece I changed a bit. Just my thing of not letting the log determine what I do with the end result. Glad you like the tongue!

Aarons, Thanks! yes It hurt a LOT! but it's better now

Thanks big daddy, appreciate the props and No no tendons or nerves to speak of..

Palm City T,,, Thanks, no need to bow too low thought, I'm just a normal carver who bleeds like all the rest.. :)
