Hi Gang,
Here I sit with everyone looking over my shoulder so excuse my mistakes they are all laughing because I am under pressure. Here are a few pictures of Bob and his woodspirit that he started today. I promise to post pictures of the finished product tomorrow. They are enjoying their visit here and we are feeding them well. You guys would never believe how much Bob can eat and never gain any weight. We did a grocery shopping yesterday and we have to do another one tomorrow. They went swimming in the pool today and enjoyed the balmy Canadian weather. Let him know what you like and dont like about his carving. He had a terrible instructor and his wife was looking over his shoulder the whole time giving him all the advice he needed.

thats a pretty good looking wood spirit Bob did, but I wonder.....how is he going to hear us when we call him since he isn't wearing ear protection LOL oh Bob! ohhhhh Boooobbbbb!

Bart,
It is a little over two feet tall and about eight inches diameter. Carved in Eastern White Cedar therefore the color contrast between sap wood and heart wood.

Looking ever so fine Bob. Looks like you are learning well from the master wood spirit carver. Enjoy and be safe.

i crenged when i seen this post as just how grizzly the photos could be, but was supprized to see only the chainsaw was the hue of red, no loose leggs and arms in any of the photos,

this comming from a persons whoo's chainsaw carving still sets unfinished in the shop from 5 years ago.....

good job bob
