“I had the opportunity to spend the whole day in the shop so was able to get this one off the craving table and onto the photo stand. This will be a real colorful one and I’m looking forward to painting it.

To do the barrel I first turned the basic shape on the lathe and then used my largest forstner bit to drill a hole about 1″ deep to accommodate the head and hands. After that I whittled the surface and added the details. It looks kind of plain now but there will be lots of lettering and color to busy it up.”
This piece was eventually auction off in April, 2013. I can’t remember right now just who won the bidding. All I do know is that they received a really nice carving. Hope you agree.
Comments welcome and appreciated.

Again a great carving Lynn, but me personal I dont like clowns.
