    Beautiful work Frank! Impressive as always. I'm with Jack on this one though. One of us might very well get a large contract from Jenny Craig and need that graphic!

    Yes. By all means, enjoy your trip. It was 4.5 F (-15C) when I woke up this morning. Barbados sounds nice.

    Yeah, it's OK, but I have seen better stuff.

    Just kidding Frank, that is an amazing piece of work. Skills and artistic talent like this and you wasted 30 years of your life as Plod?? Dear me.

    I bet you are having more fun now and probably making more money too.

    Very nice work!

    Thanks very much. I did this one today for another couple that we are meeting when we get over there. This one is also Thuya wood. I had to keep it simple this time because it's only about 3" across the flats on this one.

    Frank,
    Nice to see what the request for the turtle ended up looking like. It is nice to see a project go from a request for a graphic to a final product and with someone as skilled as you are, there was no doubt it was going to be awsome.

    As far as Frank's vacation, I thought Joe had the request on his desk waiting for a vote of approval from the masses, and to give plenty of time to tell everyone not to look at or get jobs that required any graphics you didnt already have....

    Have a safe trip Frank. -- We will all be waiting for the pictures and help when you come back..no pressure though...
