I'm staying busy with yard work and getting the vegetable garden going for the season. Of course I've also been carving a lot of cottonwood bark. So I thought I'd share the pieces I've been working on since 'Rona came to town. Thanks for following. Take care of yourself, make sure you get outside get some fresh air, take a walk or just relax. Try not to stress we're going to get through this together.<br />

We carve at several local libraries throughout the year. We always carve at the Mid-Continent Antioch Library, in<br />
Gladstone MO in March. We'll be at the Mid-Continent Library North Oak Branch, in Kansas City,MO in May this year. We hope to add a couple more to our schedule. These are great places to meet and introduce wood carving to people. We have gained new members in the past and have a few people interested in joining our club from this demo. If you have a carving club, you are probably experiencing a drop in members as we all grow older. You should consider coordinating events with your local library. We also carve at two nature centers during the year. One is once a month and the other is an annual event.<br />

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
This wise old wood spirit is an original one of kind carving, hand carved from a large piece of North Dakota cottonwood bark. He is stroking his long beard and seems to be reminiscing about the good old days, or maybe passing along some good advice. He measures 22" in length and over 3" wide. This piece of bark is about 3" thick. Finished with a water based polyurethane and a coat of Howard's Feed N Wax. All my carvings are available for purchase at my Etsy Store......</div>

It measures 28" in length, 3 1/2"-4 1/2" wide and 3" thick. When I start a new project I plan to take step by step photos and show the process of creating a carving. Usually once I start carving, I get in the zone and forget. That's the case with the Native American. I pretty much had him roughed in before taking the first photo. I was more aware with the mountain man, and probably took too many photos. But hopefully these will help some of you, just getting started with carving, understand the process. I start by roughing in the basic shapes, paying attention to height, width, depth, position and bone structure. I'll then refine the areas of the carving shaping the nose, eyes, mouth etc. I work over the entire carving, not completing one area. I want to be able to adjust the carving if needed. Finally adding the details, this is the fun part. Don't rush into detailing, make sure the carving is in proper proportion. I detail the eyes last, that is when the carving comes to life. This piece is titled "Brothers".<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Christmas has come and gone, the gifts have been exchanged. Now I can post some of the carvings I have been working on this season. I carve ornaments for family members every year, but this has been a rough year. I lost my Mother in March. I always carved her a special Santa in addition to an ornament,and it didn't matter what it was, she loved it. I wanted a special ornament in her memory. I started carving these in July. Then my Uncle passed away in September, and he always loved getting a carved ornament as well. I hope 2020 is a better year, don't think it could be any worse.</div>

The cardinals were carved from 2"x 2" 6" basswood. I started by cutting out on the band saw. I then roughed them out with a Foredom and finished up with hand tools. I applied thinned acrylics for color and a clear glaze on the eyes. I brushed on a light coat of water based polyurethane and a second coat of glaze. Finally a coat of Howard's Feed 'N Wax.</div>

It took the roof off a church a couple miles north of us. So we're feeling lucky that the tree missed our house, garage and shed. Even missed the small pear tree. I had two separate arborists come out and look at it, they think it can make it with the damage it sustained. The tree crew come in today and cleaned it up, and thinned it out. Of course I got some carving wood out of it. I peeled the bark and sealed the ends of these large logs with Anchor Seal. I will put them in the attic of the garage to dry. I've also put up some small ones for some walking sticks, small carvings and ornaments. Not sure what these logs are hiding, but I have a few years before the will be ready to carve.<br />

This is a nice solid piece of bark 5" wide and 3" thick. I start all bark carvings the same way, removing loose material where I plan to carve. I leave a natural area on both ends. Most of my carvings develop as I carve. I start with an idea and follow the wood where it takes me. I paint the eyes on a few of my bark carvings, mostly green men. It really makes the carving come to life. This carving was finished with water based polyurethane and it really shows off the beautiful grain. Thanks for following along!<br />

Never tried it before but, I heard it's pretty hard. I stripped the bark using a draw knife. Then I trimmed the ends for fresh cuts, and sealed with Anchorseal 2. Might try to carve this one green. Anybody have any experience carving holly?<br />

It was a hot and humid day but that didn't keep the crowds away. The women folk were trying to get the vote, deputies locked 'em up. But, let 'em out in time to cook supper. We elected a new sheriff, but he sold his seat to the corrupt Marshall Roe. Gunfight ensued and Sheriff Roe was shot down in the streets moments after he took office. After the gun smoke cleared, I made it back to the shop and got some work done on a cedar log. Love the smell of cedar and it sure finishes nice! I managed to get a few photos of the day's work. It seems I have a new roommate in the cabin, he left his old skin, but at least I didn't see any mice. If you didn't make it out this month you have a couple more chances this summer.<br />

After trying numerous disposable filter masks and heavier respirators, I came across the M1 mask from RZ. It is neoprene and secures to the head with a wrap around Velcro strap. It has a replaceable active carbon filter which carries a 99.9% efficiency against particles down to 0.1 micron.<br />
<br />
There are other masks that are just as efficient. But wearing eyeglasses creates a whole new problem, keeping the glasses from fogging up. The RZ has an adjustable nose piece to create a seal at the top and one-way discharge valves on the front to allow condensation to escape which prevents fogging. It really works!<br />
<br />
But alas I had another problem, a beard. It is impossible to create a tight seal with any mask when the user has facial hair. But the wrap around design allows a good seal, better than others I have tried.<br />
<br />
The M1 is designed for use in cooler weather, so it can get warm using it in the spring and summer. They offer the M2, a breathable mesh for warmer weather. I will be ordering the mesh M2 mask soon. If you're looking for a good dust mask, give this one a try.<br />
