 /First tree carving of the season Hi Gang, I hardly got my foot in the door and they were on the phone and wanting me to start the commissions for this year. So yesterday I took my apprentice and we set off to skin a large cedar tree. My grandson (apprentice) who is twelve can climb the tree's a lot better than his grandfather. This cedar I am hoping to put an eagle sitting on a woodspirit and a hand waving and not sure what else as yet. I will keep you posted as I go. Today is pouring rain so wont get any more done today.BTW I would love to hear any idea's you may have looking at the tree, it is always good to have an opinion. Colin

| Re: /First tree carving of the season Hi Colin, Nice to see you back from the west and carving again. I was just noticing the pics with your grandson up the tree. What comes to mind for an idea is "Safety Harness". Drop around when you get a chance, I have just finished an Eagle with it's wings extended flying ,attached to a small rock base. |

| Re: /First tree carving of the season I see a warrior with a raised blade! Now it could be a medievel knight or man at arms, a Native warrior, a mad Viking, a Zulu warrior, or a P.O. wife with a rolling pin! But that's what I see! Great looking young man helping out there Colin, you shouldn't be climbing trees anymore anyway! He must get his looks from his Grandmother!!!!!  Bob

| Re: /First tree carving of the season Well that tree certainly dwarfs the piece I just finished and posted. I'll be watching to view your up-dates and photos. I'm inclined to go with the Viking suggestion and use the large limbs for excessories ie. spear, shield, etc. Patrick |

| Re: /First tree carving of the season Hi Gang, Just a heads up it has rained and even snowed for the past week not good weather for tree carving and the winds have been gale force at times. So no progress to report on the tree carving. The weather is supposed to take a turn on Wednesday or Thursday so if so I will be starting it then. I will update as I progress and weather permits. Colin

| Re: /First tree carving of the season How about one eagle sitting using one of the upright branches and use the other for one flying with the wood spirit looking on. Just a thought. Ron |
