9月9日 Detail Detail DetailThey were stopping in to road today to look at the big bear. That’s good and bad. Good that they look. Bad that it is a 45 mile an hour zone. And everyone goes 50 and faster. Everyone that pulled in had a lot of good things to say. The biggest thing that was said was we have never seen that detail with a saw. The people love it !!!! That’s a good thing. There will be more coming soon. Rain is coming and I have some things to do that are not carving. Maybe more come Sunday. Bye now. 6月30日 Love doves and moreIt was a black walnut day. The stump was rotten in the center and the plan changed. There was a lot of working around the wood that I had. But the customer was very happy with the stump carving. She is having two parties this week, one Fri. and one Sat. So many people will see her new carving. Maybe I will get another job from this one soon. 6月29日 Going batty in OhioI am doing work in north east Ohio now. And the first big on site carving was a bat hotel in a grand way. Four plus meters tall and very well seasoned white oak. talk about your hard wood ! This one was very hard. Bats are on the decline but I hope this hotel gets many guest soon. There was talk of moving some bats in from else where. Here it is the bat hotel. Open for bats now! First come first pick on rooms. Bat rooms are in the top of the mouths, up around the tails and ears, and in the bottom wing. Ten rooms in all. 5月20日 Relief cut4月4日 Please Carve MoreMy ,”Wolf Rock”, customer asked me if I could carve more in there tree. So we added a nice big trout and street number. I also worked the body of the wolf over a bit. It needed a little diet so I thinned it out a bit. Then the honeymooners came they wanted a wedding sign. They can be added to the list of very happy customers. What will tomorrow bring? The new spot on route 115 is looking good. If you are driving around in the Poconos please stop and visit us. Just two miles south of Blakeslee, PA. on the way to the speedway.
3月26日 Harmony in wood on lake HarmonyI was carving a dove at the new spot on route 115 east of Blakeslee, Pa. Making saw dust and hoping some on site carving would come up. Some did out on south lake road on lake Harmony. The 4 meter red oak is now," Wolf Rock” . The wolf is in the middle,with a souring eagle on top, and a bear in the rocks on the bottom. Here is some pictures of the piece and a picture of the dove.
I hope the on sight carving keeps coming. It is my best work. Play! 8月15日 Koi FishKoi; This is the biggest fish carving I have ever done.
Maybe the nicest one.
Again I had to battle hardware to get it done.
But we got though it and the stain in the red oak make a nice color for the Koi.
There is a nice pond full of Koi on the high side of the wall.
We covered them up for the job to keep the sawdust out.
I hope you like it.
I have carved dolphin bigger but they are a mammals.
Nice hard ware !
On sights are an adventure !!
8月9日 The carpenter's nailsI carved an ash carpenter this week.
The carpenter is to be a support post for a roof over a patio.
He had nails every where but in his pouch. And he had a pouch full in him !!
Needless to say I went though some chain.
I got a blister on my thumb from filing !
The carpenter came out good and the customer is happy .
By the way, a little deer came to see us.
He was all by him self. He has come to our land a few times! 4月25日 Spring in White HavenIt have been a very good week for weather here in north east PA.
We are getting close to signing on the house. I can't wait to have that done.
Everything is taking way to long. It feels like it is never going to end.
And I will never get to Ohio. My customers are waiting pashently for me. I hope!
Still I miss Aya and Frederick Kazuki, every day. I will be so happy when they are here.
I have been doing some carving in the area. I hope it stay steady and keeps comming in.
It's not a river but it's floating the boat.
12月21日 Christmas ordersHere are pictures of the last two Christmas orders.
The customers were very happy with there gifts.
I have to make some baby wood chucks for the mans wifes birthday.
Thats my first after Chrismas carving.
Her birthday is in Feb., but I will be in Japan.
So I will get it done early and he will have to hide it.
5月11日 Makeing saw dust in OhioOh me-o my-o. It is getting hot in Ohio. I’ve been working out in the hot sun with Aya. We have been making saw dust. Lots of it. I have to get more wood in the morning. My log man tried to tell me that I stole the last two logs ,but the mill won’t take blue stained logs. I think he wants to hit my pocket up for more money. I will have to remind him of the rules. We should be back in Pa. around the June 4th. Maybe I can get a day or two of fishing in then. I think it’s going to be more like getting my foundation for the house ready. Yes the house project is going. A little slow but going. Well that’s it for now. Here are a few more pictures for you all to look at. I have to go and get my ducks in a row. By now.
4月13日 The Big Eagle Is Flying I got back to work after the ham and eggs digested. And I finished this big red oak eagle chair.
The artical I read last week on spalted wood was good.
But I did not where a mask. And the old oak had a layer of rot and spalted wood on the outside.
The last three days, my nose and lungs have been all stuffed up.
Lots of wind and lots of fine,hard,old,sawdust.
It just about did me in. And I have many masks.
I think the next time I will wear one.
Next week it's off to Ohio.
Maybe we will be done with the snow by then.
Aya is coming on the 23rd .
That makes me very happy.!
Lots of good carving times coming! 3月30日 BIG BEAR coming!!!Michael made BIG NICE BEAR!!!
Michael does want to post up some pics, but, he can't post pics, now.
This space has a limit in the photograph which can be contributed in one month. This month, I posted "Ridgway Auction Pieces Album" that have so many pictures. Maybe, he'll post up to details about size and what kind of wood.
And, nice bear pictures coming soon!!! Thank you! posted by Aya 3月8日 Still cold but spring planing is on.The end of winter is getting long but signs of spring are in the air.
