"I want to carve this little piece of Tupelo wood into a ram skull"
" I've spent hours and hours of Bighorn Sheep in the wild"
"I enjoy how they react to each other""I don't have a lot of experience with Tupelo. But so far I like how easy it carves with power tools and how well it takes the details."
"It seems pretty strong, too! But it will take a really strong wood to keep these horns from breaking off. I guess this will be a good test"
"The flies and hornets are really (friendly) this year. They are beginning to get on my nerves" "They seem to be taunting me!"
"Every time I bring out the bug zapper, they disappear and when I put it down they come right back"
"Pearl volunteered to keep the flies away, so that I could keep carving."
"I'm real happy with the strength of Tupelo. But just to be on the safe side, I'm going to soak it with super glue."
