Default Beware...it's a snake!
No, it's not really, it's a pig's tail! I just finished carving it and I thought....this is definitely the weirdest thing I've carved yet, so I was wondering, what's the weirdest thing you've carved? Deborah

A conduit bender and a pair of lineman's pliers for an electrician Santa for a fellow electrician who was retiring.

Okay Al, I cringe to ask, (I've been led down the garden path before, much to the amusement of the leader! Red Face Sarcastic ) but what the heck is a schmoo?

Goody, he's great, I bet the guy loved him!!

Nancy, I'm so happy to hear you're carving again too! Deborah (who, in her youth, to the great amusement of her older cousins, went snipe hunting!)

For those of you who are old enough to remember "Li'l Abner", schmoos were Al Capp's take on the burgeoning welfare state, cute little critters that lived in the "Valley of the Schmoon." They had been relegated there by some sort of decree and were unable to escape. Abner's son, Honest Abe Yokum, found them and brought them back to Dogpatch, where they multiplied and provided everything a person could need. They gave milk, laid eggs,and if you were hungry they dropped over dead, providing both pork chops, beef steak, and all sorts of meat cuts. Their hides made wonderful shoes and coats and even their eyes could be used as buttons.

They actually looked like a bowling pin with legs. I'll see if I can dig this guy out. gotta be careful though, as they made folks totally dependant on them.

And the winner is the one that can come up with a carving of a pig tailed schmoo holding electrian plyers.

This thread is way too good!

I've always been so impressed by Deborah's work ...... I copied that tail and I'm trying to find a place to put it on my weird Santa
