On Saturday we went to Ronan to view the annual chainsaw carving competition. This is our friend, Julie, who is amazingly gifted in all kinds of crafts. I have two bears she has carved. One is a black bear sitting in a canoe holding a paddle. :-) Julie also knits, paints, and does flower arranging for weddings. :-) This piece she is carving is part of the competition and would have been auctioned off Sunday.
Many thanks for your visits, comments, and favs. All very much appreciated!
This is wonderful! It's so fascinating what can be created. My father who was a woodworker had just started to try this particular craft a few years before he passed.
@dailypix Hi, Susan! Thanks for dropping by and for your comments. I just spoke with Julie and she got the People's Choice award! She entitled her carving "Forest Friends". It had several owls, a fox and a rabbit on it. It was auctioned off and brought $1200 US! Proud of our friend! What kinds of woodworking did your dad do?
@bjywamer That is absolutely wonderful! Congratulations to her on the People's Choice award. A great achievement for sure. I'm sure it was well worth the auctioned off amount.
My Dad was involved in general woodworking, finish carpentry, carving and woodturning. A have a few of his wood turnings on display in our home. Thanks for asking.
Wow! Congratulations to Julie on receiving the People's Choice award! I'm just awed by her creativity! And I also agree with you and Carol about lifting and holding the chain saw! Fav!
