More hearts. This one is carved from the heart of maple. The color looks like cherry.










This one is carved from cherry.

22x14x4 atlas bone. The white to the lower right is an anatomically correct neck bone cast model.







Cherry 7x6x1.5

A friend of mine is a Chiropractor and asked if I could carve him up an atlas bone. It's 6" wide. I guess about 3 or 4 times the normal size.



Of coarse I had to take it to the next level.



Heart of cherry. 7x6x3

Our first polo match. It also happened to be a show for the wares. A few generous folks helping to pay for the show and over night accommodation. What a nice weekend get away. Well in between driving for 3 days, setting up the booth and taking it down. A real vacation to the mountains are in order.


We were set up at the goal end of the field. Great spot to watch the ponies charging up to take a shot and win the chukker. Had a few balls roll up to the tent. Even got to keep one.

Cherry clef note 20x8x3.5.
16 hours of wood removal. Hope to finish another today that is a little larger. The slab of cherry before carving weighed 52 lbs. and was a bear to cut on the band saw. Got my work out. The finished piece now weighs about a pound.
