Hey Mike,

Nice work. Just for the record... my wife and I were just visiting an Amish gourd farm last Saturday, so we got to see them up close and personal (my wife decoratively paints gourds and is facinated with the Amish). I think slight differences in clothing style might occur from area to area, but for an Amish farmer in the Lancaster, Pa area, you got him "dead on", including the straw hat. Heck, especially the straw hat... great shape.

Very nice work on your 'amish farmer', your model certainly has had an interesting history.

thanks kathy and mike i tried to some research before carving it to try and make it fairly accurate,i envy their simplistic way of life sometimes and wish i had that kind dedication,but i sure like our creature comforts!!! lol

AWwwwww I like this Amish farmer Daddio! You did a great job not only carving him but your painting really brought him to life just right my friend! Ive been to several Amish farms before and I admire thier way of life in that they are very hard workers! Keep up your good carvings!! Forrest
