I finished these four in early January. The Blue Moose went to Georgia where he has enjoyed both rainy nights and a great family who lets him listen to jazz and feeds him excellent cookies. The Formal Dress Penguin is in central Florida living well in a freezer and being taken care of expertly by ex-Sea World folks. The Swim Suit Moose is now living in rural Washington state and loving his young keeper. The NCSU Snowman is yet to be delivered. Then with arthritis flaring up a bit no carving took place for about three weeks but that has eased and I just finished the Leprechaun. He will stay here as I keep the mistakes of the first one at home! Started on a second just before we left. More projects on the way as I try to do a few people-based characters. All of these carvings start with a 1” x 1” X 3” block of wood.
