Here is a Native American on bark. This bark was found in western Minnesota. The colors were added from colored shoe polish which gives the carving an interesting texture.

The weather is started to get a little chilly. Even Santa thinks so. This is the first of my ‘this years’ collection of new Santa carvings I have created. For the fur I just carved groves in the fur and used browns and white to get a decent folk art version of fur. Next time I will use the wood burner to create realistic fur. For now I wanted to get the hang of this carving before spending too much time on it. For now, I guess Santa doesn’t mind.

Harvest is almost done (or in full swing depending on the crop). This is my version of a harvest angel bring in the first hand full of wheat. I carved this in the traditional flat plane carving style for the Scandinavian farmers hear in the mid-west. Soon she will put on the white gown as the Christmas holiday approaches. But in the mean time, it’s harvest time!
