About the shop, we live down a South Georgia dirt road so our studio is for work only. We had the building constructed with the end wall recesses in 15 feet so our carving area, 24' X 15' is open on one end. We have never had an exhaust problem as we normally have a ceiling fan running as we carve. We built this place about two years ago and really have enjoyed it.
About the step by steps, well those new shin's run so well that we didn't have time to take the remaining pics. If we carve another we will get the complete step by step for the page.
Thanks Belinda,
I need to go to Metter this morning but doubt if I will stop in and see you, we are running very busy, have to transplant 35 flats of Pansies for McDonalds, that is a lot of work for an old fart like me.
We have done 7 snowmen and yes, a couple do come off as looking girlish. We will take better pics this afternoon before we take them to the retailer. I have plans for carving an Octopus with the base of that two hundred year old Pecan tree laying in your yard so don't burn it yet. I may need to set up out there and carve on it for a while because that thing is to big to move as it is. This will be a carving for our local Vidalia public library's Kids Summer Reading Program. It will be an underwater theme next year, if you remember we did the alligator thing for them this past summer.
We allready have several fish carved for the scene. We hope that you will see the completed scene on your local Savannah TV stations.
later
