Detail Detail Detail

They 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.

Love doves and more

It 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.

Going batty in Ohio

I 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.

Please Carve More

My ,”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.

Makeing saw dust in Ohio

Oh 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.

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!
