Holy Wow! When you see a great man take the time and trouble to pay tribute to another great man like this, it just rips your heart out!! I’m thinking steel guitar players have to be the nicest people on the planet.

Wow! :whoa: But it doesn't surprise me. Whatever Bruce does, he does to perfection. I love the charicature aspect of it. I'm not sure what part blows me away more, the carving or that amazing little PSG. At first, I thought I was looking at a life-size carving.

Bruce I've been carving for around 11 years, that is a beautiful carving. Do you play steel that good.
