Here are a few photos of carvings made at the event...
Bob Waits carved a 7' tall Drugstore Indian for his sponsored piece
Ken Braun carved these pieces, including the Shifu tortoise, during the event. I didn't get a photo of his sponsored piece which was a huge eagle.
Steven Higgens carved 2 sponsored pieces including this bench [which sold for the highest price at auction] and a large bear plus 2 cubs.
My sponsored piece was a spiral of 8 salmon with 1 large sturgeon at the bottom.
Everyone got t-shirts and hats
