What a good piece of work. I've downloaded the file for future reference. Thanks.

Great work.

I like the golfer you carved. Very nice...

It's nice to be paid for a carving you whittle.
No matter the amount, too much or too little.

If I were as able as you in my carving.
I'd have meat on the table. I wouldn't be starving.

Perhaps I should retire my chisel and knife.
Move to a new town and start...

I like your new improved version. Ho. Ho. Ho.

Another great carving from Deer Creek. And another lovely photo as well.

Your little guy deserves a poem, but a poem doesn't do him justice. He is just the ticket: handsome and likeable.

I particularly like the size of your figure. And the balance of detail and simplicity. The detail of the shoes, face, ears and hat are offset by the simplicity of the shirt,...

I sure like your golfer. I could learn quite a bit.
If you don't mind my copying, please give me your permit.

I'll cut and I'll whittle to make my golfer like yours.
The only distinction is that he'll wear snazzy plus-fours.

My guy might depart slightly in that...

Another great carving. With a chimney like that, it must be some cabin.

Sure do like those Doug Outside videos. I like your little guy as well. Nicely done.

I bought five or six packages of the above discs at a craft store called Michaels up here in Ontario. They are as described by Dwight. Attached with two small dowels (and glue), they make a sturdy base. Gene Messer gave me the idea. I bought up all I could find, for fear that they would...

Another great carving. Nice flat plane work. Enjoyed your exchange with Soggy.

Here I am in Perth county, providing on the spot reportage. Last summer, I observed a Mennonite farmer with a hat similar to Mr. Bear, suspenders and a two tone blue outfit. His wife wore a long sun dress and lace cap that covered the back of her head. On my way home, I saw the Mennonites leaving church....

Your brother-in-law seems like an interesting guy.
Everyone needs a hobby; his is to fly.

He takes care to ensure he stays on the ground.
It's only his tiny aircraft that is no longer earthbound.

Some claim his approach shows he isn't too brave.
He says, "It's...

I liked your story about Tennessee and the Amish community. Tomorrow I am driving to Stratford, a city of 30,000, surrounded by Perth County. The Mennonites play the same role in Perth County as the Amish do in Tennessee. And like you, I'm an admirer of their way of life, culture and work ethic....

A well known banker in town. He's now on a roll.
His Santa was whittled from a measuring pole.

TBox is carving Santas for some cash on the side.
It's part of his retirement for which he has applied.

It's only nine years before he gets his gold watch.
That's...
