Ya have to Admit, Kevin is A Nice guy Ta' work Wit... Thinking about Ordering Lenord or Another Custom Puppet from Him.. I wonder if Kevin ever Had any Disatisfied Customers.. I doubt.. One puppet Builder Built a Bluebird Puppet that She built for 3 Hour's and the Customer said It looked a Dumb Deformed Parrot.. That'll feel like Being stabbed In the Stomache Ow..

Umm...I'm not sure how long it took ,but one prop that I made with it aboughte 2 years ago is still the same way.I think you'l be okay if it's a thick piece,and you don't drop it.
thank you
