Where did the week go?

For some reason, I'm missing a day. I was convinced that yesterday was Tuesday. Which doesn't make much sense. So I am missing a day but that puts the weekend that much closer. It's funny how a week full of carving flies by! Anyway, I carved up only 4 seats tonight because our stores have not replenished their supplies yet. We already have a rather large order starting for the weekend, so I'm hoping they get some seats back in soon. In the mean time, Cheryl found some old carving pictures that we took a while ago for our old website. They were with the old camera so they are not the highest quality. Anyway, enjoy! Someday, I'll have to post the story behind the moose antlers. A tease, I got them while on a super secret mission in the Army in Alaska. Super secret location. Are you impressed yet? Wanna know more?

I can't believe it's Sunday already!

Having taken a couple of days off for Cheryl's Birthday, I have fallen ever so slightly behind in my seat carving responsibilities. So tonight I carved up 5 seats, I already have several for tomorrow. Lets hope that the sales continue and we are able to catch up from last month. Since this is a rather short post, I thought that I would continue putting some of my old carvings on just so I can remind myself of what I used to do. Here is a whitetail deer carved out of one piece of oak. It took a while to carve the foliage underneath, but it doesn't look to bad. the carving is rather large so I can't seem to capture a good picture with the poor lighting. Hope you are all having a great weekend.

My fascination with the Irish Elk

For a long time I was into carving extinct and unusual animals. None captured me like the Irish Elk. I did this carving in a Cherry stump. It checked badly, but I still love it. It also had some damage on one of the Antlers, The trouble with making them so big. Just thought I would show it off since it now collects dust with many other carvings in my garage. I actually carved two and managed to sell the first one! I was very excited! This one is still my favorite though.
