    Nice Nice Nice! This one has got to be my favorite so far....not that it speaks to my heritage or anything ;)

    You show this one around and I'm sure a harley buff is bound to commission a similar carving...with a dewrag ;)

    Thanks again for sharing.

    i don,t ever say anything my coins being for sale or on ebay for sale on the coin talk forum, because of coin forum rules, most of the carvings i show here have already been sold, but sometimes i show them before i,ve sold them....[ps] i think the rule of not selling on this forum is a good thing, as it would get out of control fast...

    Hi Bill,

    I really love your work and I believe like most others here on the forum, that you could do engravings for the Mints! I seriously believe that you could and should submit several designs for a Kentucky Commemorative Coin with Dan'l and for a Tennessee Commemorative Coin with Davy on them and they would more than likely be accepted and Minted once approved. I am an old Irish and Cherokee Indian boy (really a fairly old man now!!! HE! HE! HE!) from Tennessee and you would definitely get my vote! As many other States and/or Cities have had some kind of Commemorative Coin done for them, I think it is about time that Kentucky and Tennessee had their' dues!


    Respectfully...Frank E. Ferrell
