| | Hello from Big Bear Vallet I am also addicted to carving and wood sculptures. I am a retired engineer and located 7000 ft up in the San Bernardino Mountains of California. Birds are my favorite subjects. Check my web site www.bearvalleysculptures.com for examples of some of my efforts. Thanks for letting me join your community.

| | Re: Hello from Big Bear Vallet Hi up there on the hill. I am down in Redlands looking up at you right now. My offices are on the second floor of my shop. You must have a lot of snow right now. The south side of the mountian has had snow for the week now.
Your birds are beautiful. If my wife, the bird lover sees them she will buy them and drain my play fund. LOL.
I bet you were happy carving a few weeks when you were snowed in. I bet you packed all your carvings when we had the fires last year. That was a bad fire storm. I hope it was not close to you. If I recall it was on the west and north end of Big Bear Lake all the way down to Running Springs.
Thanks for posting your web site. Fantastic! |
