Miscellaneous Woodworking
I am also a wood carver and turner. I carved the ventriloquist figures I currently appear with (see above). In fact, until I stopped working, about 9 years ago, I was one of only five people in the world who still carved these figures commercially. I also do occasional carousel figures.
This is a half-size inside row prancer. He is a work in progress that will probably never be finished. My wife doesn't want large carvings on display in the house... isn't her kind of decor. If I finish him, someone will want to buy him and he's the only one I kept for myself, so he lives in the shop, as is.
This is a carousel do I did. He was planned to be on rockers, but the buyer decided he wanted him on a display stand instead.
Some years back I made muzzle loading rifles and related items. This is a custom knife I made, with it's wooden case.

Here you have three views of "Proud Charley", my eventually to be radio controlled toy tug. Charley is named after the tug in my children's book and should be great fun to take to the pond in the park. He will be quite powerful as radio controlled tugs go, and will pull that barge full of real gravel.
