when i was about five my brother made some elephant shaped bookends,and i thaught this was somthing great too be able too do with a saw,many years later a uncle of mine made a piece for my dad,and shortly after he saw me trying too cut pieces with a coping saw,so he gave me one of his old fretsaws.it has only been in the last 5 years or so that i have a electric saw.
REALY AWSOME PIECE OF WORK CLAYTON,

nice going there KEVIN,
i have a deep resppect for scroller,s who cut out projects involving a lot of lettering,
although i have done a few projects like this myself i realy dont have the patience one needs too do these,
