Default A promise is a promise, darn Issue 50

When Issue 50 came out and Anna seen the little sheep in it I had to promise to carve her a couple. A lot has happened since issue 50 came out, I retired and almost kicked the bucket to get out of carving the little buggers. A promise is a promise and I looked for my Issue 50 and its no where to be found, no sweat I will just order a new copy. Not going to happen WCI sold out on that Issue. But you promised she says with a sad face. Out to the shop with pencil, basswood and a couple of knives and tried my hand from what memory I have left.
Meet Chip & Woody
Promise Kept!

Hey Goody, sounds like you're out of the doghouse.
Good job!

If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

Well done, you kept your word. The carvings are great, you have a good memory and you retained your honor. You set the bar pretty high.

Goody, Chip, and Woody are some nice Goddy Woodies.

Or are they golf balls?

Those came out real nice. I'll bet she was happy, but you should have waited and given them as a piece offering to help you get out of the doghouse next time.

Hi Goody,

You did a great job carving those from memory. It's not easy, the memory plays tricks.
