Default Here's My Penny Farthing.....

It took me three weeks to make. The only part that is a carving is the rider.....'twas a pain to make.

the rider has a pair of ear phones on.....as the caption on the piece says:
"Listening to music, as he rides his bike".

didn't want viewers to think that his ears were cold.

NOW I'm working on making a model of the recumbent tricycle that I ride in the Summer, and as before the wheels are giving me fits......so when it's is done, I will post it as well.

Hope this one doesn't take three weeks as well.....??

Nice carving. The bike is great and the rider looks like he is enjoying his music.

Dull knife,
I like the little cyclist. It may have been a pain, but the result is fantastic.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
