Those were pretty cool. I've got a hunch that's not the first one he made, as he made it look easy. The water to expand the natural fiber "o-ring" was pretty slick too. Thanks for the vids.

A couple of observations.

1. I'm surprised that cat has any fingers left.
2. He is a wicked carver. Skill and speed like that take a LOT of experience.
3. That's an excellent set of vids. Much thanks!!
