Ship's Figurehead Carving's Message Board

SHIP'S FIGUREHEAD CARVING: This Message Board is for Maritime Wood Carvers, Maritime Historians, Old Salts, Seadogs and anyone interested in Shipcarving, as well as South Sea Sailors. If you have any specific questions on Ship's Figurehead carving, Ships' Figureheads, or maritime carving in general, you've come to the right place. Please share any interesting stories about the Golden age of sail, Tall Ships, or your experiences in some far off exotic location. I'll also try to answer your questions on ship carving as best I can, or look forward to any maritime Old Salt or Saltess sharing his or her knowledge with us. Many thanks for visiting. Cheers. Martin Jeffery. **SPECIAL NOTE: Because some people are posting unrelated topics, I've had to modify this message board to USER NAME and PASSWORD only. *****Any queries to me at nauticstorms@yahoo.com Thanks.
