Nicely done for a good resource Joe. The bagging title threw me for a minute but you know where the mind goes sometimes.

Looks great! Love this.
Wish you could teach me some more with photo's of the textual work of the Dragonfly.
Did you do those letters als with the knife (stop cut etc.) or did you use a V-shape (forgot the English word sorry) carving tool?

Yes, I use a knife for most letters up to 4" high. I have a short vidio of carving small letters but I can't figure out how to send them......Photobucket doesn't seem to recognize them.

Joe,

I can look at those pictures for hours! :D
Nicely done.
Short video's are always very easy uploaded on http://www.youtube.com.
Just copy and post the link here.
I allways that is the fasted way to upload and show movie clips.
What happens with the knife if the letters go beyond 4"? Is there a big brother of an other kind?
