Horse Bite

 This was my big spring project .it is three blocks of wood laminated.I made a clay model of this first.I made my pattern from that then cut out my block of wood . this carving took 2 months to complete.

Bird watcher

loved carving this guy one of those summer projects in between all the honey do list projects

Santa for Val

 This . is a Moore roughout I dont usually do roughouts i like creating my carvings from the block of wood . I bought a few just in case my carving arm acts up again . I was diagnosed with spinal nerve accessory damage which affects my carving arm shoulder and elbow . Anyways I carved this for my wife Val the lady that inspires and encourages me along my carving journey

The Pipe Smoker

Sorry about the delay in putting any of my carvings on here but I had other things going on and just didnt get around to it this is a marv pattern of course .If you havent noticed Marv has been a big influence on my carving and thru his tuturing Ive improved .
