Smile 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.

Well, Pete I just came from your web site and your birds are just wonderful. I love the navagiation avatars! You live in a beautiful area, and I bet is a big inspiration for you. I lived in northern California most of my life, now residing in the high desert of Prescott Valley, Arizona.
I hope your will post often and also share your work and expertis with us.

Hello from the Kern River Valley!
Welcome to this woodcarving site. Your work shows a high degree of expertise. I appreciate that you have included dimensions and wood type in the descriptions. The carvers here, especially the animal carvers, will value your comments and carving tips.

In the winter I live in Wildomar thats in the Temecula area. In the summer I'm in the sierra by way of Oakhurst. It's good to have you here. Theres lots of good folks to learn from.

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!

Welcome to you in the flatlands. We are former residents of Yorba Linda. Thanks for reviewing my work. It sure helps to get some feedback (we are not the best judges of our work).
Enjoy the warm weather.
