those are actually herring (the little ones). Nope no stripes is right and there is a cod cruising through the foreground. There is one offshore fishie in there. Hard to see in such low light. Either way off it goes to a home tomorrow. Thank god  |

Thanks all. Mostly it is Jack who works with me out here. He is the carver of talent. I rough out blanks, provide the right material and put the finish on. It is my business but Jack is an integral part of it all.
I'll put together some sort of montage of the work we have put out recently. Jacks experiences go back 50 some odd years. Dugout canoes with figureheads, animals, native american, nautical. It goes on and on. If anyone ever visits this place (if you can afford to ) you will enjoy our shop and speaking with jack. He is truly "da man". He's got 20 years on me.....
yep mike. 2 cod |

BW, that is really neat... very impressive. I think that would take about 1000x more patience than I will ever have.
I will have to remember this for future reference.
