Default Sometimes life gets to slow in Scott Ga

I carved this senior, put him out to dry and a dirt dauber built a nest on him. I am to scared to sit down around here to long at the time.

What a bummer! Sure hope it comes off without damaging your carving. It looks like another nice carving!

Life may be slow in Scott, but looks as though you're moving at a good rate of speed. A couple of nice ones you posted.

I like it like that! The carving is beautifully done.

Now all you need is to carve a dobber coming out of the nest hahahaha.

Nice looking carving. Is the dirt dauber a bug or a small bird?
