Hi Y'all,  greetings from Del Rio TX.  We came down here hoping to escape
the nasty NY winter, but the weather hasn't been what I expected.  We are at
the Southwind Marina right on the shore of Amistad Lake created by dams on
the Rio Grande River.  I have water on 3 sides and can see Mexico through my
front window.  As you all know I haven't done much carving since I got my
laser engraver,  so I brought along some blanks and tools.  I did a few
cottonwood bark pieces (no pics) and am now working on a butternut panel
18X30 with grapes and leaves.  I started with one of Ivan's grape patterns
and then used the background (ground) for additional elements I put in
freehand.  It's still very much in the rough, but I would appreciate your
comments on the project and my use of otherwise waste wood.  I'll probably
add more to the bottom to balance with the top..  Take a peek if you like..
