Default Boys at the Pump

These boys have been playing hard and big brother is getting a drink for little brother. He's having a hard time with the pump though, hope he can get it going.

Hope you enjoy this little scene from years ago. I appreciate your comments.

Ive used thoses old pumps before myself. Plus carried in wood for the stove and heater in my grandmothers house many of times.

This is a outstanding carving my friend! I like how you carved it plus your painting set it off just right.

I enjoyed just viewing it Joe and thank you.

Your ole Tn buddy,Forrest

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm trying to get better at carving children. I have much the same problems as I do with carving women (they look older than I want them to be). So I figure if I keep doing it maybe I'll get better at it. Meanwhile, I think I'll do another old man next.
