Storybook Mouse

[JoeVM]

Made me smile too. But remember, a day fishing and catching nothing is better than a day not fishing.

thanks woodburner807 and sappy

[JoeVM]

Nice design, thanks for posting it. I will keep this in mind when I need something like that.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Herb, thanks Merle, tbox61, and Ed. It was more difficult but a lot of fun to see it take shape.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Tom. Yes, I wanted something a little more challenging and it was.

[JoeVM]

Excellent work. It really looks just like Dave Stetson would have done it. I had a class from him once and he is such a good teacher. Now, if I could remember what I learned.

[JoeVM]

Good one Jersey Girl. You captured the cartoon very well.

[JoeVM]

This little mouse is balancing on a spool of thread. From a pattern by Dave Sabol. It's about 6" tall....

[JoeVM]

Good ones Herb.

[JoeVM]

Nice faces Tom.

[JoeVM]

Nice little lumberjack. Refsal's book has a lot of those little figures and they are all fun to carve. Hope to see some more from you.

[JoeVM]

Nice little Gnome.

[JoeVM]

Lots of good expressions Joe. Only one happy guy though. I wonder about him.

[JoeVM]

Excellent workmanship on all that fine detail....

[JoeVM]

Those are sure interesting. Can you tell us what Fari Piba is, and what kind of wood is it? It looks like a root.

[JoeVM]

Good job on the Hatter. Your painting looks good too.

[JoeVM]

Thanks Kris. I'm pleased with the way the shirt turned out myself. I know what you mean, the winters get a little long around here.

[JoeVM]

Tom, I think maybe you have been in isolation too long.

[JoeVM]

It maybe scrap wood but those aren't scrap carvings. Nice work.

[JoeVM]

Dog gone it Claude why didn't I think of that?...
