Changing over to a new computer with Vista makes editing pictures a difficult task, but better late then never, I say.

Here are views of the Competition from the highway.

Close up of one side of new sign.
Ross and his son Henry.

Saturday auction crowd.

This is Duke and I. He is wearing a,50 year old, Japanese Fireman's helmet and jacket he brought to me as a gift.

This is Dayton, Duke and I in my, newly acquired, old Fireman's gear.

A.J. quick carve.

Oops, out of space and bed time, more later, including step by step of carving a deep relief Moose.

This one is ALL chainsaw at this point.





Notice the "ORBS"...








Notice the moose-heads on the swimming trunks

2nd and 3rd place winners had minimal use of color. VERY MINIMAL. (are you listening Angie? )XXXXOOOOO
3rd place piece was not even totally finished
The 3rd highest piece at auction was a quick carve bench
The spirit of the event was noted and commented on by the public....... VERY MUCH.
I am just totally amazed at how many people will drive long distances to volunteer their services and work SO HARD!! (You know who you are.) Thank you to all.

It looks like you guys did a great job. Awsome carvings.

Thanks for shairing your pics Dave, love the woman with leaves, great face saw finished and love her back, something I need to learn.
Cheers, Tommy

I love the autumn lady, the back is as graceful and beautiful as the front. Do you have a finished picture of the arch, maybe I missed it. Jeff's wolves were great as usual as well... all the pieces were fantastic, I see I guessed wrong on Squirrels Facebook, on who carved all of them.

ALL great great works there for sure! Way to go Squirrel and AJ! Thanks for the pics Dave, your moose is extremely cool with perfect perspective. Humbling stuff.

Way to go guys! Doc
