Default Lab Eye Glasses Holder

Carved this old black lab for the other lady at the VA,she has picts of her old blk lab all over her office. She can use this pin on carving to hold her sunglasses,etc.

Just a simple carving but just a way for me to say,Thank you.

Its carved from bass wood & its 1 1/2 wide X 2 inches tall. Painted with acrylics.

You devil you! You sure are making brownie points! Next thing we know they'll be moving you into an office next to the Director! Hee! Hee! Nice job Forrest! My favorite dog too.... Looks just like my boy's old pooch, "Babe!" She's gettin' along in years but she's the sweetest dog that you'd ever want to have.

I'm trying to tell by the picture. You've just looped the glasses through the ring and that's what's holding them? They're just hanging by the ear piece?

Forrest,
Really neat, she should really like them. You should make some pretty good ponits with these little carvings. Thanks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Great little carving and idea Forrest and a wonderful gift, send me some of that imagination. We'd love to have you & the Mrs. stop up and visit, but I have to warn you, its going to be hard to leave, the gardens are beautiful and very peaceful with no neighbors, just the birds and other critters to keep us company. You're welcome anytime old buddy.

Dan

Is there nothing you can't do, my ol' buddy? Your friend at the VA will wear this everyday, I'm sure. What a great way to hold your glasses! Those could be big sellers no matter where you put them, and the subjects are limitless. Love the job you did on that ol' black lab, my friend. I am continually amazed at your ingenuity and imagination. Those come first before you even put your skills to work! Great job, my friend...Bonnie
