Making Your Own "Hans' Guard!"

Looks excellent to me. I love the grain of the wood.

(Spoiler Alert... I posted almost the same post on my Facebook page) I'm not sure what drew me into whittling so many years ago. I guess it was just some brain fart that I had that I acted on impulse. But like so many of my carving friends that are showing their hobbies and work during this time of...

The carving was great but the finishing really made it come alive!

Nice work Soggy!

I think that as intelligent, patriotic, compassionate, caring people, we all agree that............

Arthur.... You hit the nail on the head and without getting political there's an excellent CBS Sunday Morning news-clip from March 22nd that gets into our complacency as a nation. I found it really eye opening....

Dileon.... I think I'm in love with you! At last, someone with a brain!

Excellent job....

Rob... I worked for the VA Medical center for thirty-years. When I first started there were water fountains on every wing and the only quarantine in the facility was the locked time out rooms on the Psych ward. Other wise all but a very few were 8, 10 and 12 bed wards....

You guys are lucky. When my wife says jump, I say "Yes Dear. How high and how far!"...

Nice work Merle. Looking forward to seeing it painted! I love the way you carved those limbs.

Does the Priest know that you're absconding with his communion cups? Ha! Ha!

[Eddy-Smiles]

Nice work. Helvi sells some knives that are about that same shade!

Excellent work. My wife and I love cardinals. There used to be a couple of pair that hung around our bird feeder up in east Tennessee. One of those crazy suckers used to keep flying into our bedroom window pecking at his own image!

Wayne.... That's because the squirrels salvaged it all for their nests! ...

[SIZE=22px][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Greetings John! Good to hear from you. No, "POOH" bear is a registered trademark of the Disney Corporation! I'd hate to have a Disney lawyer show up at my front door even if I did shorten it to "Poo"! They really get touchy when they think you've infringed...

Rob... I was Navy. The only time we ever ran out of toilet paper was in boot camp and that was because the same sort thing was happening back then as it is now only it was meningitis. They closed down San Diego and shifted all the navy recruits up to Great lakes which jammed up all the companies and...

What we need at this point in time is a sense of humor! Smiles will get us through the day better than anger or worry. Obviously, one of the things that's wearing heavily on our minds is where has all the toilet paper disappeared to. I spent a great deal of time contemplating this conundrum and finally...

I carved an eagle cane but compared to your eagle mine looks like a Turkey vulture!

Arthur....Back when I was younger and used to go off-shore fishing I'd keep what I caught and bring it home to cook but over time I just got in the habit of catch and release. Especially down here on the Gulf where we see Red Tide almost every year and the 1,000 of tons of dead fish that they harvest...
