Hi Mary. I really enjoyed the deep relief carving lesson with nuts and leaves. Do you have any plans for a deep relief lesson for scroll style acanthus leaf patterns? Thank you, I'm learning a whole lot about carving from you!

Hi Mary,
I was thinking along the lines of Philadelphia or Chippendale style, something like the one here:

Hi Tom,
Ooooh. Pretty! I'd love to do that. I'll put it on my list but can't guarantee this soon. Hey, I've got an idea. Why not commission me to build the table and then I'll film the process (the only way I get to work on things these days).
Wonderfully done and very beautiful! I am curious with all the trouble of using the hot glue why didn't you use newspaper or some other method to secure the piece down better? The newspaper worked great on the dragon carving and it was far more delicate. I absolutely love this carving!
Hi Jerry. That project was completed quickly and my client was expecting to have it that afternoon. The 3 or 4 hours that was needed to wait for the glue to dry was just too much time to wait. So, the main reason I used hot-melt glue was that it was fast. Some drawbacks with it, but it generally holds pretty tight - even with the heavy mallet work. If I have more time to work on it, I definitely would have used the newspaper/glue process.
