Some carving time was put on hold as I drove Mom and Dad up to Chicago for Aunt Charlotte's 90th birthday party. We drove 24 hours in three days, some of it bad snowing conditions. We were all glad that we made the trip.

This is the early stages of a large carving that I am doing for a Catholic Church in Oklahoma.

The carving is quite large, about 5'X3'. It is Jesus surrounded by children. Check back and you can watch the progress.
