Open Fire Cooking with Dutch Oven

    I got this very large Dutch Oven recently from my friend Larry at Island Uniquities & Antiques in Cape Traverse.   Yesterday we did some big cooking from french fries to chickens over an open fire!

Cat carved from Island Sandstone

     My wife and I were on my ATV the other evening at our cottage and came across a flat piece of Island sandstone.   I thought I'd try doing a stone carving for the first time.  So I made up some tools and started carving a few days ago.  I'm happy the way my cat turn out. I'll do another one when I find the right piece of stone.

RCMP & Moose

    I've made these moose before and usually use wrenches and scissors for the moose antlers.  I thought for the first time I would put an RCMP officer on one of them.  The boots of the RCMP officer are made from an old cast iron wood stove grate shaker handle crank.

Cottage & Business Signs

     I often make cottage signs - here's one I made for my own cottage.

    I also made a sign for a new antique store in Cape Traverse that opened a month ago.
