Phil's Phirst Phantastic Phairy House

[Blinky Bill]

Phil. is a friend and neighbour, who never carved until I introduced him to Cottonwood bark a couple of months ago. Now there's no stopping him, after 20 or so very artistic gnome homes he came up with the design shown in the attachments and I felt that it deserved to be shared with all our friends here on the forum. First is a picture of Phil working on the new building while at our little carving group meeting, followed by pictures of the finished carving.I hope that this post encourages him to become a member of our forum. Hope you enjoy his work, I know I do.
Regards
John

John, tell Phil he belongs here. Tell him we need him. Be sure he knows he can join and just lurk until he's comfortable. Thanks for showcasing his carvings.

Well, what PHUN, Phil! I am needing to do one of these for my garden, seeing Phils work makes me want to get busy!

Phil's work is stunning! Incredibly detailed! In a very short time he has become a master! He really needs to join the forum!

I agree with Bob K, Phil has Phound his calling. My wife is drooling on my shoulder wondering when I'm going to provide an addition to her gnome garden outside.

Talk about a quick learner! Wow! Phil has a LOT of natural talent. Beautiful work!

I have to wonder, just what did Phil do before he tried carving. He has an amazing gift to just jump in and go. I also think it is a great medium to start a carver in. Way to go John. That is one heck of a piece of bark, is it a composite of more that one piece?
