Cool. Can't wait to see.
Nice one Neil.. Alder is lovely for carving, isn't it..
Spotted this. Now that is what I call fine carving. http://ibigdan.livejournal.com/6974311.html
Superb, I think you should do a tutorial on carving those!!
I have just put some pictures on the blog of my latest project (this one is for me!)
Enjoy
