"Norseman Staff" woodcarving by Oonagh
"NORSEMAN STAFF"

presented by Oonagh

Oonagh just returned from Brittany to home in Oklahoma and sent these images of a new carving.  The staff is 48" long and about 3" in diameter at the top.  It is finished with a tinted beeswax finish to enhance the natural beauty of the wood.  A long staff is too difficult to show in one piece, hence the sections.  Oonagh enjoys carving Celtic ritualistic subjects.

"Missing Lunch" woodcarving by Jim Lynes "MISSING LUNCH"

presented by J.J. Lynes

This carving was commissioned for a cabin in Wisconsin.  The carver cut Wisconsin White Pine into planks, planed it, laminated, and glued it in order to carve this large bear.  The system used created a lighter form for this large carving.  It is life size and hangs attached to an overhanging hemlock log.  Unfortunately, the bear missed both swipes at the fish with his paws.  Lynes sent this image from Mauston, WI
