Stumped & Floppy

This pair of carvings is from the Rocky Mountain Carver’s Roundup I attended in Midway, UT earlier this year (2023). I need to put the finishing touches on ‘Stumped’ and ‘Floppy’ to get them ready for the acrylic paint I’ll be laying down later. Roughouts are from CCA Member, Dale Green’s ‘Boomer’ and Dwayne Gosnell’s ‘Duke’. I learned a lot from carving alongside these Magnificent Legends, Dale and Dwayne!

The President Brings In Another Blue Ribbon

They’re all lined up! These are the three Best of Division awards I’ve received while carving in Open Level (L – 2019 Moose; M – 2010 Lightning & Snake; R – 2008, Father Winter). Now it’s on to Expert Level Carving! I hope I’ve shown some improvement over that 11 year period of time.

The President’s Son Eric Getting Hitched

Our Club President was asked to carve the Topping for the Groom’s Wedding Cake. What made it interesting is that the groom is his son and the bride his new daughter-in-law. Groom's CakeHe carved their two faces after much wrestling with a very sharp knife. Good job President!

 

Friendship Cane for Glen

Ken has carved out another great project, along with some other fellow carvers for Glen Beere. Watch for the finished friendship cane when the project is complete. Glen is a great carver and Ken has captured a good essence of a part of his life as a referee. Great carving Ken! Look for the other pictures in Ken’s Woodcarver’s Album.

Softball Carving

The President has tried his hand at carving softballs. There is an article in the Fall 2011 issue of Woodcarvers Illustrated. Try it out but remember to keep your tools sharp! Look in my carving album for other pictures. Have a Happy Holiday everyone!!!
