Nicely carved little beaver! Great touch to a log home, and all those log ends and walls, imagine the possibilities!!!

Wonderful to have seen that. Thanks for posting. The beaver is so appropriate and has so much character. Very nice carving.

I'm wondering how many carvers actually know somebody that lives in a beautiful log "cabin"(?) home such as shown?

We live in a log home. And, on occasion, there are animals that while not carved in it do carve on it. The squirrels especially like the front wooden steps for the salt that's left from our sprinkling it on the snow and ice. Woodpeckers too like to stop by for an occasional peck. No beavers yet but I have seen the occasional racoon scampering across the roof.
