The show in Longview went well; have a couple of invitations based on that presentation; have carvings at the 505 in Toledo through September. Showing two carvings at the State Fair in Puyallup. Carvings below are in preparation for the ARTrails events of the last two weekends in September. Come see them in person; we're at studio two near Little Rock. Also visit the train station in Centralia on Friday the 19th to see a piece of work by each ARTrails member. See what I'll have there!

An interrupted 2014 Between traveling to see grand-kids and illness, carving has taken a back seat. Still, bases that should have been built for ducks made in 2013 are completed and a couple of pieces roughed out in December of last year have formed up very nicely. ![]() It's the end of August, 31st in fact, and I've got the 8' mask painted, abalone and shell embedded and am now ready to make the cedar bark cape, if I can get enough. I actually need material for two capes as an older carving is missing it's mantle too. This mask is heavy; 49#, but, it should be 8' of log and paint is a lot of wood. ![]() Notice the bandaged finger? Notice the unguarded angle grinder. The grinder jumped and ran across several fingers and an arm before it leaped onto the concrete and then resided into mirth at all the blood and adrenalin it caused; just as some experienced carvers warned. A finger nail was trimmed by this method; I don't recommend it. |
