Who Remembers Babar?

Jellystone Lake? You're not trying to tell us that you have a piece of Federal Property hanging on your wall, are you?

Beautiful friend you've got there. You can just see the love for you that he has in his eyes!...

We had it on but my folks weren't into boxing. But they did enjoy wrestling back then. My mother never missed a bout between Chief Don Eagle and Gorgeous George....

[Eddy-Smiles]

Saturday afternoons for us were "The Big Top", "Ramar of the Jungle", and horse operas with the likes of Johnny McBrown, Tom Steele, and Lash Larue just to name a few....

Love Jackie Gleason. That was comedy before comedians thought that they had to use every cuss word in the book to make people laugh. We have the complete DVD series of the Honeymooners!...

[Eddy-Smiles]

Same here. Our antenna was an old metal clothes hanger hung off of a curtain rod. You needed a magnifying glass to really see what was happening on the 5" screen....

[Eddy-Smiles]

I never expect nor do I ever accept compensation for anything that I make. Expectations lead to disappointment and hard feelings, and no one can afford to compensate a carver for what is really put into a piece of work....

[Eddy-Smiles]

Nice job. I downloaded the video but have yet had time to carve one myself....

[Eddy-Smiles]

Gee-Whiz Folks!.... You all are making me feel like I pre-date the dawn of the dinosaurs! I'll bet that some of you don't even remember Howdy Doody, Andy's Gang and "Plunk your magic twanger Froggie, or Sky King?

Great looking woodspirit! I've used the smart phone that we have compliments of our oldest daughter to take photos but no one can figure out how to take them from directly off the phone to the computer. I can trip up to the Cloud but that takes WiFi and we don't have it. In fact every time there's a...

Today, October 4, 2019 is "World Animal Day." In remembrance of this day I give you "Babar The Elephant!" Who remembers Babar. Most likely any child growing up after WWII remembers the Babar books at their local library.

The elephant was originally roughed out from a...

Tinwood.... Have you checked out Doug Linker's YouTube channel? He has a couple of niffy seasonal carving on it.

He'll love it! Nothin' gets people smiling more than a caricature of their profession.

[Eddy-Smiles]

Very nice! I especially like the pumpkin with the swinging feet!

Where you been all my life Nebraska?...

Burner.... Direct descendants!...

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men,we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would,...

Been using a chain mail stainless steel carving glove for 15 or so years. I don't trust my blood thinner hands with anything else. Great choice! And as a side note I don't have any problem dulling knives by hitting them against the metal glove. I still try to carve in a safe matter and keep the fingers...
