Those are all terrific, but that cross! by the size of the woman next to it , it looks huge, but it must be the way the picture was taken, how big is it? And what a fabulous job someone did on that! Looks like writing to, but faint, can't read it. They were all good, sure wish we had more shows out this way!

WOW....what fantastic carvings, thanks so much Lynn for sharing these with us here back at home, it really means alot to all of us.

Congrads to both Lynn and Mark on your ribbons and great talent. Bill

Dave, The cross you asked about at the Dayton show is about 4 feet high. The script carved on the carved drape is the 23rd Psalm ( I think) If I am wrong someone please correct me, my memory sometimes fails me. And you are correct, it is impressive. Tom H

Looks like it was quite a show Lynn and all. I must agree, Lynn's work is what draws my attention!!! That adventure with the moose is priceless! The combination of: the carving, the humor, the painting and the detail, is a combination that takes the cake!

(and the ribbon, as it were)

Thank you for sharing those pictures with us Lynn, those of us who can't travel that far to a show appreciate it.

Lynn'

Did you by chance get a photo of the Keystone cops? Seems the one I took never came out. I thought it was outstanding . Never saw it on your blog page.

Hello Dave and Tom H. That was my cross and it was 5'-4"H. X 3'-2"W. the linen was made of butternut and bleached, it is 32"W. X 32"H. The Apostles Creed is what's carved in it.

CarverRog ,
Yours ?
Because I was truly amazed at the work. It was exceptional. Was it made for a church? Very inspirational.

Hello Garry, No it wasn't made for a church but it is for sale $10,000.
