Into this group goes such carvings as our Bambi’s, Hilda the Witch and a rooster that sits next to Frosty the Snowman. Behind them, hanging on the fence, are Horse Head Plaques and a Raccoon or two. Whatever idea is that I come up with to carve, my customers often come to me with new ideas for things that mean something to them. This has ranged, over the years, from a Buddha to a large Mortar and Pestle for the roof a pharmacy to a five-foot wrench set for a local mechanic’s front yard. Someone also wanted a Gizmo (the furry beast one) while another wanted a family of trolls.

One of my favorites was the torso of naked women with locks flowing in the style of a masthead for a ship. This was used as part of the props in a very popular play (The Margaret) put on by a professional group from St. Ann’s NS.
