The Moose

 The Moose was a one day project started in the afternoon and put the tung oil on by 9 o'clock that night didn't put any paint on wanted to show the grain and it does show .

Rockstar

 Well this is my take on a Pete Leclair  pattern . This of course is for one of the girls at work . Emerald is a record collector so I carved this up and mounted him on a stack of records that i created on my lathe sorry that's not shown on these pics .

Another carving

 This octoberfest character is an original design drawn up by my talented niece. It was carved for an employee who is originally from germany .I tried to create a different carving for each girl .

MERRY CHRISTMAS
