In an effort to increase our visibility from the road, we topped 4 existing maples at about 14' and mounted some colorful pieces on them.

very cool, that should draw them in. Good luck.

Erv, that is fantastic! If people don't notice those they are blind! Very tastefully done.

Great Job Erv! Can't wait to come visit you again. Place looks great!

That should do it....cooool!!

Very very cool ... I have no doubt those beautiful creations will drag in tons of customers and they WILL buy lots and lots of bears !!
Well done ... they look great ...

Erv, that ought to get some people looking. Very well done. Have you met my friends Alonzo and Jason down at the Carving Cabin yet? I think there down the road from you.

Awesome job! Very nice eye catchers!

I'm sure you'll be asked, "How much to have something like that in my yard?"

Very good idea you had...

Erv...You have created one of the best carving/studio sites i have ever seen ,I for one am envious
and plan to set fire to my pallet and blue tarp studio first thing tomorrow!

Very impressive , though somewhat humbling setup my friend!....Best of luck....R.L.

Evr
looks great people should be able to see you now .

How did you bed the bed on your truck
the photo with your truck looks like the center of the bed is bowed in

Blair I can't believe you carve under a pallet tarp shed .
With your talents I figure you have a giant shop with all the toys heat and air .

Geeeeeeerate work !

Nice choice of colors! Doc

That was a great idea to open up the view of your roof, and the artwork will certainly draw the people in. When did you do that? I'll come by to see it when my truck gets out of the shop.

That is fantastic!

WOW! It all looks really great Erv. Your work is fantastic as always.

I forgot to mention the guy on the scaffold is Harley Dougherty. In an effort to save time, I had him come in and help. He carved 3 of the trees while I was doing the bird and bugs and helped me mount some of the carvings. Harley is a great guy and just set a sales record at Hackensack this year for a guest carver auction piece. Mark, the bed isn't bowed. The flat part of the roof on the building is a new addition increasing the gallery and work area by 50% and the trees had branches hanging over that would eventually be causing problems, so this was the solution. Yes I have met my new neighbors alonzo and Jason. I sold Alonzo some wood last week. They are great guys. I think that makes 11 of us on this road now.

Looks like you're at a camp ground, or country club, looks like a great set up. What a cool attraction. Love the giant hummin bird, makes me feel like I'm in "honey, I Srunk The Kids"...

Large and in charge!

Looks great Erv. You and Harley did an outstanding job there. That ought to increase your traffic. By the way, I am the carver that stopped by to visit you guys in June.

Had the pleasure of meeting Harley in Hackensack. Lots o' fun!!!!!!!
Seeya!
B!

I know your head is swelling with all the positive comments, but here's another.

Totally awesome, dude. Love the theme. Love the ladybugs. Great, creative work. Must be gratifying to see it finished.

I'm definitely glad it's finished. Butterflies are not really my thing! I think those figures were about the best thing we could have done for drawing attention (attention in a good way).
