Hey Chris:
Fabulous workmanship, as always. Looks just great. I was happy to give you the name of a supplier for the cane; just passing along what Ralph Disley told me. Can't wait to see the finished piece. You should probably send a pic or two along to H L Perkins Co,; I'm sure they'd be delighted to see what a master modeler does with their really 'fine grade' product.
Wish the darn snow would melt a little quicker here. Looks like they've put the logs back in the dam at the foot of our lake, so we'll probably reach high water in another few weeks, and the ice will likely have all melted by mid-april, or so we hope. Then, ...........
Cheers to all from the Haliburton 'bushrat'.
