Carving Class in Oklahoma, July, 2009

My son Joe and his wife Amberley in India

Out of Commission for Awhile

Shortly after this visit to Owen's house (July 26th) I had surgery that has kept me from carving (and a lot of other things) for what is now over four weeks. I am still not completely healed but hope to start getting back to normal soon.

Woodcarving in Thailand??

Joe is always on the lookout for woodcarvers. He found this fellow in Thailand.

EASY RIDERS!!! "Joe, is that a Harley??"

What a beautiful location-northern Thailand

Joe has grown into a giant, or that is a really small banana.

A rainforest adventure!
