More Pictures of the wood

Ray Worden on the left and John, my husband
and fellow carver on the right, after an
afternoon of milling a basswood tree.

The whole tree in boards ready to be stored

in the barn for several months till dry.

Here are pictures of the tree once it has been milled into

boards which we will keep up in the barn until it has dried.

The time varies by thickness, but generally it is 2 months

per inch before it is dry enough to carve. I cannot wait!

A NEW TREE!!!

After a few years of carving hard and not the best basswood,

(you never know before you cut down a tree how it will be

on the inside) we bought a wonderful tree from our farmer

friend Sonny Beeman, and had it cut into planks by another

friend Ray Worden, with his portable saw mill. These pictures

show my husband, John, and Ray spending the afternoon

transforming a tree into carving material. It is beautiful

wood and we can't wait till it dries and we can start carving!
