Wet, Whittlin' Wed. Daily post, Feb 18th

Another rainy day here. :P All the more reason to stay inside and carve. Will be carving on the same Santa I was carving on Monday. A friend coming over again around noon to join in the fun.
Your turn, whatcha up to today? ...anybody?....

I see the sky clearing from the west (Tacoma) the clouds are scooting along quite fast...... I guess I better go out and tie down my tarps.......then I will carve.. Maybe even carve outdoors awhile....yea, I see blue up above! 8)

I'm pretty sure I've got a piece or two of your bark. You have had a wood booth at the Spokane or Tri-cities shows in the past haven't you? What's new or popular in the last few years to carve on bark, anything? Will you be at the Tri-cities show in March?
Looks like the sun is trying to burn thru some of our clouds here too..yay!

Toycarver, In the past mostly Indian, Mountian men, Cowboy theme carvings. Lately, I have seen Santas, Reliefs of castles, buildings, etc. I think, it is up to the individual carver themselves. I havn't had the pleasure of carving in bark yet. I guess I should as we have a lot of cootonwood around here in SEK.

BTW, Just finished up a couple of small roses for magnets and doves for pins.

Sorry about the weather toycarver..... today was the first for sunshine here in quite some time. We've had snow, rain, sleet, etc for way too many days. It may get into the mid fifties today, so what mess is left on the ground should be gone soon.

I almost finished my base for the hunter and dog last night. I just have a little detail to go. Everything else is ready to paint.

I did paint a few small caricature busts that I had sitting around. I do these as 'exercise' mostly, but a couple looked good enough to keep!

I think spring is on its way here in Canada finally. I think my snow banks have gone down at least 2 feet in the past two days its a balmy 2 degrees here today the snow banks now are only 6 feet high. Working on two cedar spirits, three hiking staffs Cedar, Balsum and Sumac and still working on the santa and the bear.

well it was only -2 here today and bright and sunny.warm enough to wash my truck.went to the carving club in our area that meets at a seniors center,there a small group of mostly duck carvers so i can get some tips on burning the details.
besides the group itself the good thing is the center has a complete woodworking shop.
