How to know when a project is finished?
During an interview, Bart told Jordan: "I know it's finished when I get to the end and I like it!"
And, he added, "Every time I finish one, I have another piece of wood, I start something."

Gift commissions for two grandsons.

First up: Blue-Winged Teal 
(selected by Jordan -- on the pattern is a previous carving, now a model)

Progress: March 29th

Progress: April 9th

The second carving waiting in the wings was selected by Bart. Caleb's request was simply: "surprise me." It is just as well that his is the second project since Caleb will be performing with the International Tour of West Side Story for the next 18-months. I know numerous people who will be willing to "keep" the duck for him should it be finished before his return!
