Thumbs up Archie Zimmerman
I found this website about the folk art carvings of Archie Zimmerman. He started carving nearly 100 years ago and was fairly prolific from what I can see. There are a couple of dozen photos of his work at:

You should collect as much of his work as you can and then write a book, you did a good job presenting that!

Thanks TWOCLONES for posting this link on folkart carving.I found it very interesting. With so many high quality carvings made today, the interest in folkart seems to diminished somewhat.
