That is spectacular, are the red colorings in the stone? if so he did a great job with placing it the way he did.

OMG That is too cool. Tell Ian I love it. Oh and by the way when can he start on mine. :grin:

Terri, that is just awsome, how big is this one?? Maybe he should carve faster and start selling. Truely fantastic, the eyes really make it come to life!!

A man of many talents. I like it a lot!!! Wonder if I can get Smith to give it a try.
