Thank you all
« on: June 19, 2016, 05:37:56 AM »

Thank you to all members and admins, who have enabled me to grow in this hobby over the past 7 years.

Its been exactly 7 years todate that the first stone turned up in my mailbox, and started this wonderful journey.
Naturally it was a Fire Agate that started it all.

FA is still one of my top favorite materials today, so its only fitting that there are 4 pieces awaiting to be finished up this coming week.


And three new ones to be started, to keep me busy for the rest of the year.
A crazy one, that was given to me as extra, and shows some colour all round. That thing will be a pain as too many sheets run in all sorts of directions.

One that promises some hot colours under black agate.

And of course the jumbo, that should be finally started this summer, coming in as is at nearly 5 pounds.


Naturally, lots of materials have come and gone, yet still a lot more to try out.
Close to finishing up: Brazilian Agate

And new to start, Coral again


Lots of fun and frustration, that would not have been possible without the help and support of sooo many fantastic people round the world brought together throug forums and NET in general.

Thank you again from all my heart, Looking forward to the next 7 years........ Kurt

Kurt, it has been a pleasure watching you over these last 7 years grow as a carver as you unleash your imagination on pieces of rock and turn them in to beautiful works of art.  I look forward to witnessing your skill expand even more in the future.  I also look forward to all the eye candy that you will post up for us to drool over.  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.   :icon_sunny:

Yes, your progression since I've known you over the past several years has been excellent.  Your amazination is wonderful to see in the projects you have completed.  And, I am looking forward to seeing them in the future.

I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to set one of your carved pieces - the Simatar - Working this piece expanded my experience, and with your help, made me a better smith...................Again, Thank You.................

The honour is all mine. Brought it home to Austria last year, and it has been given a place of honour by my brother, in my fathers house.


I'm sure, one of these days I come knocking on your door again. Your work is impeccable....
