[Biker]

That's soooo good.

Know what you mean about the eyes making it come alive, get them wrong at it makes for a whole different result, thankfully you nailed it perfectly with this one. Beautiful workmanship.

Nice as always Steve, you've got a knack for bringing the dark side out of them and that's why I always look forward to seeing your work. Top job!

love your stuff mate, have always said that you really bring the wood to life, you capture the emotion of the wood spirit perfectly, if people were to look into what these things are all about, they wood see that you are spot on.

Very impressive. I really liked the thumb sticks you had in your gallery. They'd fetch a right few quid, but I'm sure you already know that.
