Well... Here is  a photo of a mini Loon that I just finished... put this bird on a cherry base with waves carved in...
it is about 6" long and a fun project...

Well... here it is the day before Christmas... been making a few items for the big day...
here is a photo of the news guys at shop doing a little carving...
Also a photo of a Red-Headed woodpecker that I did... this one is carved coming down the tree...
Next week will be time to tie up loose ends and then get carving for the upcoming competition season... have several ideas for our local DU and for Worlds...
Want to wish everyone a great hoilday... enjoy the time with family and friends...

Well.. I guess you all been woundering what I have been up too... here are some shots of  us finishing the 1st Hometown Marathon... Mark Sullivan, Robin Sullivan and I were the only competitors on this run... we had help along the way from our pit crew of Sue Smoker, Jeri Smoker and
 Ben Drumheller...   we trained with several long run and when the day came the weather was good and we ran 26.2 mile around the local area...
Also had several folks from the local running club tag along in sections... want to thank Rose, Dan,
Mark and Doug for giving up part of their Sunday to run along and all the encouragement...

Now back to carving and running shorter distances...
