Owen and Grandpa in the "Shop"

Owen likes to turn on the dust collector and get the dust off his clothes.

Owen helps on some of the fine details of the carving.

More Owen

Owen was not too sure about this Santa fellow!

Mom tried her best to get Owen to pose with Santa and the boy.

Owen thought Santa was so lifelike he had to touch it and make sure?


Even Santa's hat seemed real.

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.

My "Futterer" first cousins; Diane, Me, Judy, Roseanne, Phillip, Stephanie, Jim and his wife Sam


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.
