I over heard someone say that they had about 600 hundred entrys, yes I'd say that was pretty good.

From what I can see ,and I'm sure the pictures don't do these justice, some of these are VERY well done,,an artistic eye took them from what would have been good carvings to GREAT carvings,thanks for posting them,,I think these are inspiring.
And Rocket,,I agree with you ,,the conductor caught my eye as well,which surprised me.The carving is spot on,,and the carver didn't fall prey to novel props or silly situations to distract from the expressiveness of the carving itself in an effort to attract interest.The subject itself (as conductors sometimes are) leads to a characterization,,but here it was handled so well in the subtle gestures and movement he gave to the piece without having to make an overexaggerated mockery of it.Every element is thought out and well planned,,in it's proper place, and very well executed.This, to me anyway,is an indication of the knowing eye of an artist.

Thanks Lynn. The cowboy was one of my favorites, if I could have taken a carving home from the show that would have been one of them. You cannot really tell from the photo, but the effect he created with the fire, the embers appear to be glowing from the fire, what a fantastic illusion! The carvers name is Larry Stout, this carving finished second in Group 'H" (Human Figure- not to exceed 15" tall) Class 801 Realistic Painted.
