Carving out a Niche

Jack spent quite a bit of time while he was here with us under the shade of the big pine tree, working on his wood carving.

We could tell... there were more wood shavings out there than a self-respecting woodpecker could have produced.

The carving began life as a wolf howling under a full moon. We understand it is evolving into his friend's dog, howling under a full moon. It needs a lot of carving -- there's portions of this design that require the removal of an inch or more of wood. It's coming on a treat however. We're impressed.

Anna and David came by for a close inspection -- Anna holding her

plush wolf pup for comparative purposes. They're pretty impressed with Jack's carving skills too!
