Well guys, I've been slacking on projects this year. You can blame it on work. They've stuck me on the graveyard shift which doesn't leave much time to get into the garage and work. Luckily I was able to take a week off and get some much needed rest and work accomplished. So I'm giving you a sneak peak of a few of the Christmas gifts I'll be working on. Updates will follow.

Hummingbird Scrollwork

This was another scrollwork that I did for my wife's family reunion auction. Surprisingly it went for more than the family crest.
