I don't recall JoeB posting carvings in the last year or so.
I suspect he just sells them; he's probably rolling in dough.

'Long Bros' isn't a youngster; he seems very old.
But my gosh, I think this carving might win Joe a gold.

I don't know how Joe'd cope; with...

Your bee is just great; in fact it is awesome.
The only thing missing, is possibly a blossom.

It's always a good time to set off for some fishin'
If I were younger, I'd be more interested in kissin'

Alas those days are many years in the past.
I think of them often, whenever I cast....

More great workshops. Before woodcarving, I took up woodworking ... but with a difference. With the exception of an electric drill, I resolved to make furniture without using power tools. I bought some of the best hand tools and set to work.

The problem with woodworking is you soon run...

It's a great thread worth repeating. I purchased two sets of practice sticks in the past year. The first order was 1" x 1.25" x 12"; and the second order was 1" x 1.5" x 12". I split both orders with friends who ordered slightly different sizes.

It's a great...

I'm a politician you can definitely trust.
Give me your votes; I won't be a bust.

The rumors that say I'm corrupt and a fraud.
Are largely overstated; I'm minimally flawed.

My donors are rich, but that shouldn't matter.
'Cause I'm working for you to make your...

Tis a Berry good carving of a tiny wee gnome.
I think it warrants a rhyme or a poem.

One that is short, for I don't have the strength.
To write a ditty of any great length....

Good ones. Doug Linker's the best.

Here is a carving by my friend Ken. I suggested he post it on the forum, so you could have a look. His lil' guy is going to do well in politics. Already he's wagging his finger at us.

Ken tells me this lil' guy is 7 1/2 inches tall. It was carved from a Steve Prescott roughout.

You made me laugh. You're the best and the carving is too!

Good one, Tom. I like the reporter / editor jokes. Aha! JP Butler made one as well.

How about this one:


I don't think I'm well-suited for a job as a newspaper editor.

Even my blood is a Type O!...

[Rodster]

He's a winner.

Here is a lil' guy who knows his way around words.
I wanted to whittle him; to avoid carving birds.

He isn't very big; only 4 inches high.
It's nice to carve figures, with nothing awry.

I used basswood, 1 inch ... by 1 and a quarter.
To carve my lil' guy,...

[Rodster]

I recognize all the figures. Nicely done.

I think I learned a bit by studying your guys. Thanks for that.

[Rodster]

He's not very fierce for a guy with a sword.
He's not likely to kill you, if you're untoward.

His hat is quite jaunty; his tooth quite the thing.
He's not likely to have many offspring.

Still he's a great carving which I will not deny.
If he's on the shelf,...

Great bunch of Santas

[Rodster]

Here's a fine carving; whittled by Kris.
Lots of fine details; nothing amiss....

[Rodster]

Another Great One!

I missed this posting the first time around. Great work.

Hats Off to Larry!...
