    My quiet weekend

    A couple of unexpected rainshowers messed up my plantin' and plowin' plans, so I took to the shop ....I know, tough life huh ? actually I really wanted to get some grass seed in , but with this red clay I gotta break up the ground some first .....clay turns to clumps when it gets wet so that was out of the question

    This one I did for a neighbor ( The young mother and child ) . The grandmother recently passed and they wanted one for the mom ( center ) for Christmas. I actually stack cut this one so they could have a copy as well

    The Shop Widow and I met about 3 1/2 years ago and while we were dating her feline companion of 18 years passed. She found the pic over the weekend and asked if I could do something with it

    I also did some of the cancer ornaments and took a stab at some other Christmas and Halloween things. Not too bad a weekend considering what some folks got to do

    Robert - how sweet of you to be thoughtful enough to make an extra for the lady as well. and I am sure your widow loves her Muffin. you should find a hobby though-- to much time on your hands causes your brain to turn to sawdust lol

      Robert.
      Good job on the family, but I love Muffin! And the choice of a font is perfect.
      Perhaps my judgement is a bit skewed - my elderkat took his final trip yesterday, so I am still a bit misty-eyed.
      I'll bet your SW will love it!

        Oh Sandy, how sad . It's awfully hard when you lose a loved pet and I hope elderkat passed peacefully.

        Those are lovely patterns, Robert. The picture of Muffin reminds me of my dog who used to enjoy sitting on the window. His son was an absolute spitting image and was coincidentally named - Muffin!

                      Whatever way you decide to do if you are happy and your brother in law is happy it was a good idea. If you really want to be brave use it as a learning experience. Make several of them using different suggestions and see the difference....

                      Well, unfortunately, I have also decided to let my subscription lapse. I've been debating it for the past couple years. It isn't so much the money, but it's more the disappointment when yet another issue has so little in it that really appeals to me. The final straw was this past Fall/Winter edition...

                      Thanks to all !😀 Your comment are very good and make sense!

                      My piece is 8"X8" X 1/2" thick.
                      I though when I cutted the piece to do it in 1 piece or 4/5 , but after a while I decided to do it in one piece and carved it to have a 3D aspect.
                      Was it a good idea.....?...

                      Great designe! I would have gone a bit further than Linda, Scott and Gladefade I would cut it into more pieces to make shaping easier. Taper the clouds from right to left, taper the wings so that they are lower where they attach to the body. Taper the neck so that it looks like it is going into the...

                      The never ending dilemma. I only get two magazines SSWWC and Wood carving Illustrated. Even if I don't make something in every issue there is usually something in each one that I have never tried and that will either challenge or inspire me. Yes I know that I do test cutting for them and they have occasionally...
