Default :Hanging Possum:

Today this morning,wanted to carve something? Knew today is the last day at home cause leaving in the morning for the Townsend show.

I use oxygen and course I called the VA and my oxygen will be waiting in our hotel room when we arrive tomorrow. No matter where I go,I call my tanks and concentrator{which I use at nights to sleep} is waiting in my room. I hate wearing the bag with the tank in it.Last year I didnt wear it to the Hickory show and at closing and packing,thought Id die till I got it on.

I know people look at it,so this morning thought well show them least you are a carver? Carved this crazy possum and I will attach him to my oxygen bag. Might later just keep adding carvings to it.

Hes 1 7/8 tall and long at 3 3/8 inches.

Hope you like him,his name is George the Possum.

Might not get to your comments due to my wife will have me locked in the cars trunk soon,I dont ride up front,something about I talk too much? Surely Not me!

Thks' Forrest

Forrest,

That is one humongous carving you got there! That has to be 10 times the size of most your carvings!

He looks awesome and you take care of yourself.

I'd need oxygen too if I had half the talent you have. A body can only handle so much.

Seriously, great carving and have fun!

Great little possum Forrest. People will be looking at him, and won't even notice your tank. Have a great show, and sell lots.

Tom

Hi Forrest, Boy you nailed the looks of that Opossum, had to check spelling, Sorry. Ha,Ha. That is one ugly animal. Good job carving and of course the painting is icing on the cake.
Stay well Ole Friend. Merle

Forrest,
Like your little possum. I don't know that I would hang on anything that would be close to me. Most of the possums up this way are mean. You all take care in this heat and enjoy the show. Hope to make it there myself one day.

Safe carving and God Bless,

Mark

Hey Forrest,
Your "Possum" came out great! Like the way you carved his tail so he can hang and as always the paint job brought this little guy to life. Have a great trip and take care of yourself.

Dan
