Snowman

Started a new Christmas project. This is a pretty simple carving from half of a basswood log. I plan on leaving the bark at the bottom for a rustic look. I think it will look good on a mantle or next to a fire place.

Santa Claus Vintage Rolling Pins

Finished up the first of this year's Christmas carvings. I tried something different this year, rolling pins. I picked these vintage pins up at an antique store. These are my first attempts at carving rolling pins. They are definitely hard wood. I used thinned acrylic paints and sealed with polyurethane.

Shoal Creek September 2017

Well, another year of First Saturday Events has come to an end. This was my second year volunteering at Shoal Creek Living History Museum and hopefully I'll be back next year. There are still events upcoming for this year, next up is the Harvest Festival. It is October 14th, and I'll be there carving on a a new project. Not sure what it will be yet. In the mean time, here are a few pics from this month's event.
