Don't know Bob, I think he's kind of a loner, but if you're buying----....

[JoeVM]

Nice burning Ray.

[JoeVM]

Nice Herb. Should make your friend laugh.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Tinwood, thanks Claude. I took a class from Chris about 10 years ago and did several of these then. He's a great instructor....

[JoeVM]

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments.

[JoeVM]

This is one of Chis Hammack's "Bar Buddies". I carved him from a pattern. He's about 4" tall....

[JoeVM]

I like your steer, Herb....

[JoeVM]

Thanks Terry, good of you to comment.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Stuff U & thanks Tinwood, for looking and commenting.

[JoeVM]

Easy does it Joe. Just a few chips and you'll be OK again.

[JoeVM]

Norbert is sure a nice looking elf Bob. I will be looking forward to your instructions this winter.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Hank. No, no one in particular, just a face. I have heard of Don Messer and now I will look him up....

[JoeVM]

Very nice. Could you tell us how you did the eyes?

[JoeVM]

Cute one Claude....

[JoeVM]

Thanks Merle, always nice to see your comment.
Thanks Herb, I like that one too.

[JoeVM]

Hey Herb, I like his fur hat. Hope the cows don't try to swim.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Woodburner & Claude. I'm glad you like him.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Ray, thanks Brian.
Joe, there are only two pieces. The bow was separate. However, I replaced the right forearm to make a better fit.
Thanks BobK. I'm glad it isn't obvious that one arm is longer than the other. ...

[JoeVM]

Thanks Bruce, and thanks Early for your nice comments.

[JoeVM]

It's always a challenge to get the fiddle, arms, hands all together on a carving like this. This one isn't as good as I would like but hope you all like it anyway.
