Hello, My name is Larry, and I carve full size carousel horses. Please visit my web-site at: www.carouselcarving.com to see some of my work. I also have a very detailed book on carving carousel horses, as well as a two hour DVD on the same subject. Thanks for visiting. |

| Hello Larry and welcome, I’ve always admired you carousel carvers. Great looking pieces on your website. When I was in Georgia I noticed the stone carvers were wearing hand folded newspaper hats, is that what your father is wearing in the photo as he is working on the Iwo Jima sculpture? |

Hello Tony, Thanks for you kind words. Actually my Father was using a paper bag for a hat. He did that often, I guess because of the stone dust getting into the material of a cloth hat, I don't know for sure. I clicked on the link above and was not sure which carvings were yours. Did you carve the mask? Larry |

probably why the Georgian stone carvers did it with newspaper...Yep, those are my carvings in the link. The Indian mask was from a book by Jeff Phares and the Mt. Man is from Mark Gargac’s tutorial right here on the forum. I’m getting close to finishing it. |

Hi Larry, I visited your site, Beautiful work! My wife grew up in Elmira and has spent many hours of her youth playing in Eldridge Park and riding that carousel 40+ years ago. Your link to Eldridge Park brought back many fond memories for her, she said to say, Thank You! |

When I go to Hershey Park the first and last ride that I do is the Carousel! You carve one of my Moms most favorite things ever! Welcome to the board. I really liked the peak at your work.

Hi Tony You do great work. I am going to start doing people in wood. Like a bust. I have never done that, so it should be interesting. Larry |
