Default Got An Itch????

I wanted to get this finished before the storm comes this week. At least it will provide a little comfort when the A/C goes out. It's 18" long and was carved out of 2" x 2" basswood finished in acrylics and satin water based polyurethane. I got the idea from a visit to the Smoky Moutain Woodcarvers website but I wanted mine longer due to a bad shoulder. The light switch is only a temporary home. I needed good lighting and a hook to hang it on to photograph it.

That's a good one Eddy and a useful tool, too. The bear is really nicely done, but I wouldn't expect less from you.

Make sure you've got enough supplies stocked.

Good one Eddy, he sure will get lots of use, man, mines almost worn out. Good luck if and when the storm hits, hope you get through it all right.

He's cute Eddy. I have just a plain one, but its the most used "tool" in the house. Hopefully the storm will miss you, be safe.

Neat idea Eddie, I need to add that to my list, specially here in New Mexico where the climate can be awful dry sometimes.
