"Goody" I have been busy

Hi Gang,
While I was at open house at Fox Chapel I had the absolute pleasure of Meeting Goody and his wife Ana. Wonderful people and a whole pile of fun to be with I have never laughed so hard in a long time. While I was there I was teasing Goody because he hadn't sent me a blank. The next day he showed up with a bag with four of his blanks in it. Also a roughing out knife he had made for me. So Goody to show you that I havent been idle since my return I have the four blanks just about roughed out I still need to do more detail and then to the painting. No Goody I didnt use my new chainsaw on them. Ana I will never in a hundred years ever achieve the standard of your painting but I will give it a good college try. I really like the santa blank he gave me with the feet and shoes. As soon as I get them painted I will post some more pictures. Again thanks Goody and Ana look forward to our next meeting. As soon as I get one painted I will be sending to the Amish auction on ebay.

Come on admit it You used the chain saw didnt you! Got em done to fast.
Glad you enjoyed them. Don't feel bad I can't paint like Anna either and I taught her.

Santas Look great. Must be a little windy up there to blow the beards around like that.

Really Great of Ya to donate one of them!!!

Wish we all had have had time to spend more time together.

Goody and Anna

How is it possible to carve that fast? I am able to work on one piece for 5-6 weeks........

Great carvings Colin. I too, am amazed at how quickly you do such personable carvings. I guess that chainsaw-quickness follows you around.

Colin ,
great work !

I agree with you Goody. He must have used a small chainsaw to get them done so fast. Now get one painted so I can bid on it. I have been bidding on Goody's also.

Nice work Colin! Man, you're quick! I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going with Goody's Santa blank. Like I said--maybe by Christmas!
