HI people,

I was going thru some old spammed out email account and found a gem from Rickenfaker, one of the greatest dogfighters of all time. I dont see him in game much anymore but in our last fight he mentioned his creativity in carving wood into sculptures

heres the full message



KptnSingh: This is one of the few carvings i have kept. Most of them, i give as gifts or donate to charities to auction. This pirate is from the largest pecan tree i ever saw. I used to sit and each lunch in its shade,but progress caused the town to have to cut it down. I got one of the guys to give me a piece of one of the great limbs. Pecan is a very hard wood,about like granite! It took me about two and a half years to carve this pirate. Worms worked their way to the surface about a year after the carving was complete and left holes that had to be filled with wood putty; you can see them as dark brown circles in this photo down by his left foot. The carving is about 20 in(50cm). Pecan is a popular nut here for eating and cooking with. It is an awful choice for carving( too hard-soft woods are preferred), but i loved this old tree and wanted to pay tribute to it. I also like pirates. I really enjoyed our dogfights, i hope the world finds you and your family well! From Doc " Rickenfaker" McCraw,M.D.




this is how i fly !!! :)
