Default More Woodspirits

Well, here is what ST and I have been up to while Colin was driving across the continent.
2 sets of woodspirits in the Mt St Louis area of Ontario.
Carving at the side of the road sure creates a lot of interest.

Enjoy !!!!!

Bob and ST

PS..2 were in Hemlock and 2 were in Maple. Stained with 2 coats of Sikens cedar tone

Those are wonderful. I wish I could drive down the road around here and see treats like that.

The location is on the Mt St Louis side road, east of the 400 hwy.
Take the Mt St Louis exit going noth on the 400 Hwy and when you get to the T intersection, turn left and go towards the 8th sideroad. There are about 12 woodspirits carved into trees along the side of the road and the 2 in the private residence driveway, that you can see from the road.
They have been carved by Colin, ST and myself, all on ST property. Thanks for the kind words....I will pass them along to the boys.

Bob

Really cool Bob I would love to try something like that sometime. I can see one in my front garden.

A quick question, will they kill the tree as you cut through the bark & cambium??
