Shadow Box Sail Boat made with lobster claw

     I just did these "shadow boxes" up - I used lobster claws for the sails.

I'm house-cleaning - Box Lots for Sale

     I've come to the point where I am running out of room - so I'm house-clearing my attic, bus and the barn.  I'm putting things into "box lots" for sale for $20/box.  These are things that have been around too long and now have to go - stuff I don't use in my folk art or reproduction furniture.   

Pigs Can Fly!

     Here's my latest piece - "pigs can fly".   The propeller sure spins when they're in the wind!

    The pigs are made from wood.   The legs are made from old bed spindles legs. 

     I have a bushing (a type of bearing) in the propeller to cut down wear - it makes then spin faster.  

Cabinets

     I picked up these old cabinets last week and re-worked them into new cabinets - here's some before and after photos.

Bowling Pin Coffee Table

     My daughter was up over the weekend and dug these bowlin' pins out of my shop - she asked me if I could make a coffee table out of it. Here it is - am going to deliver it to her on the weekend.

Tuna

     I've made these tuna before and thought I'd make a couple more.  I had a rake and used it for a tail; the top fin is a piece of antique moose antler; the bottom fins are oxen shoes; and the body is a cedar log that I've had drying for two years in my solar kiln.

     The tuna are hanging in my Museum building right now.

Hoss and his horse

    I just finished this piece today.  On the bottom I have written, "I wish HOSS would lose some weight my back is killing me."
     It is carved out of wood; the rim of Hoss' hat is part of a license plate; the legs are made from dowels; and the horses tail is made from a dinner fork.
