I am calling my latest piece "Back Yard Neighbors" featuring an Owl, a Woodpecker and a Squirrel. All are approximately life size. I have been saving the piece of wood for a few years just waiting for this project. It's 40" high and 10" wide. This kept me quarantined in my shop for a while.

It may not be September yet but I have been dove hunting this week. Found one in a piece of red cedar. This may be my new wood to work with. It's a lot softer and easier to work with than mesquite.

The recent Mountian Lion (Cougar) taken near Tuscola stimulated me to try to carve one. "Surveying His Territory" is carved out of mesquite mounted on sandstone and driftwood. The piece stands approx. 9" high. It's always fun to see what's inside a piece of wood,

Here is my latest project. A profile of a trout inlaid into a piece of sandstone. I happened upon the trout cutout while cleaning my shop recently. I saved it because of the intersting pattern of the wood grain pattern of peach tree wood. Thought that this would be a good way to display it. Cutting into the sandstone was not as easy as I thought it would be.

My latest project and another run at something different than wood carving. An image of a trout etched into a river rock. The rock is is about fist size. This was a fun project and I like the result. May do more.

In late Sept. this year, Neal Lowery and I went to British Colombia to fish for trophy size Brook Trout. I just completed this carving of a replica, or as close as I could, of one of the largest that we caught. It is 20" long with a 15" girth and an estimated weight of 5 1/2 lbs. This one is not for sale. It's mine as a reminder of a bucket list trip with a good friend.

The piece is approx. 9" tall and 6" in diameter. The marble stone originally was the center section of an old broken cemertery flower vase, With a few hours of grinding and sanding It now has a new life,

Here is my latest piece "The crappie are biting". The diminisions are 22" wide 15" high 7" deep. Each crappie is approx. 8". I thought that this was appropriate for this time of year with crappie fishing in full swing. This is for sale. If interested for yourself or your fishing enthusiast, please let me know.

Recently a friend asked if I could carve a Green-Winged Teal duck. I told him that I had not but that I would accept the challenge to try. Here is the final piece. It is as close to life size as possible without having an actual duck for comparison.

Recently a friend asked if I could carve a Green-Winged Teal. I have never carved a duck but I told him that I would accept the challenge and give it a try. Here is the final piece, It's as close to life size as possible without having the real thing to compare to.

Here is my latest piece. A Bald Eagle that's been fishing. This is the largest bird piece that I have tried so far. The wing spread, if it were in a soaring flight position, would be approx. 18". This all started with a piece of mesquite that looked like it could be a wing.

A combination of limestone and mesquite for a piece titled "If you find yourself in a hard spot, wing it". I wonder if too much saw dust in the nose has the same effect as sniffing glue?
