Boring holes in dirt in morning, engraving in afternoon.

Yer multi faceted Craftsman right there!

I’ve got the place wound tight.

Ok. Good carving session. Time for Dinner.

Very nice engraving ! You have to have the hands of a surgeon an brain of an artist to put out that kind of engraving!
Nice job Gary. Can't wait to see the finished product .

Hi Bob,

Thank You.
We have a number of Surgeons here. I appreciate that. I won’t consider myself comparing. But as an Artist, Kelly can tell you what a Curs...Blessing that is. You are correct. Hah. If you take note, none of the carved panels are ever the same. 47 years, and always a fresh idea or design. It’s made it difficult to produce, because whenever I set out to work ... I have “What I’m supposed to do”, and the new idea “I want to do”. I should have run a shop of artists I could pass a drawing to and say ... “here - carve this.” Like the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School.

It’s a real factor that you can pick up when you see a man who was able to make essentially dozens or hundreds of the same thing. The writers love them cause they are easy to catalog. Mine are hundreds of individuals. Because I have endless ideas.

M glad you enjoy them Bob. Thanks for writing!

Hi Gary
You know I’m a stickler and really look at your handy work. The symmetry has got to be the hardest too .
Nice work for sure

Thanks
