Walking PAT

A Labrador carved from walnut log that Butch Elrod gave me 2 years ago. It’s sitting on a piece of hickory. There are cracks on it but I like it gives character to this piece and I like the saturation of the color too.

Langur monkey from scrap walnut and maple.

Just another gorilla made from 3 pieces of 2x4 cedar.

Finished this macaque a week ago. Made out of construction cedar. I carved the head separately out of English walnut. Now my chimp has a company.

Always am fascinated with monkeys. This is a pencil holder howler monkey I carved from a 4x4 construction cedar from Home Depot. I attached it to a willow driftwood found on the local river. I finished it with Jacobean wood stain.

Did my second song bird “Lazuli Bunting” I set it up on a piece of diamond willow driftwood. It’s sitting in my office now. 😆

First time carving a bird. Didn’t turn out too bad. I’m waiting for the eye glass just can’t resist to take the pictures. But . I’m currently working on another one. We’ll see how it turns out.

Saved a piece of osange orange and maple from scrap wood pile. Carved my first horse and turned out pretty good.

Commissioned Flamingo walking stick carved out of basswood on a piece of twisted shank. Finished with acrylic paint.

Took my wife to Chamna Natural Preserve and tried out my new walking stick. It’s just a simple basswood condor sitting on top of a piece of driftwood that was finished natural topped with polyurethane.

First carving after the weather cools down. It’s been almost 5 months. It’s good to be back tho. Thanks
