Haven't heard much from either of you lately, nice to know you're still out there plugging away. Both pieces look great Matt, especially the tree bark and branches. I really like the clever use of your tree sculpture in place of a railing. It's a concept i've never even considered until now. Really nice work. What's funny is that i was literally just looking at building a small helve hammer for a project coming up, i may have to pick your brain a little.

Don't let Nathan give you too hard of a time, I believe we're still waiting for picts of the power hammer he made. :)

Ya Nathan weres your hammer hu!!!

Great lookin stuff Matt! Yeah I know I still need to get some pics up. Seems as though I'm not the only one up to the elbow in work. The helve looks great and I especially like the Sam Adams box in the background. Inspiration comes in sooo many forms. LOL

Very neat idea for a railing. You were thinking outside of the box.

Matt,Really like your helve hammer. Nice set up for the clutch and foot pedal.

Branches on try looks great. Different leave sceme but looks great.
Making those 2D wall hangings look 3D are kind of tricky but you pulled it off very well.
