 Pawpaw's  Art


When Terry's sciatica impedes walking he resorts to new hobbies that he has developed: rock and wood carving and woodworking.  He never found a branch or a rock he didn't see as a future work of art.


 A man and his tools!  Every time Terry has a special day -- the kids want to know what he "needs" - well of course,  there's always another item from Harbor Freight!   Luckily Terry had a new chain saw to work this wood up.


Father's Day Gift


T's 75th brought more gift cards and cash for a new Lathe!



First projects were tables -- and bowls --

Mine are cherished pieces --

Katie's birthday 


Bethany's table has been a long time coming from finding this slice of a tree that was being taken down in their front yard on Valentine's Day --
July 5 found Jack and Terry sanding and shaping --


 The wood was called "punk wood" and had to be hardened and treated with several layers of epoxy.
Pieces of the slice broke away and the finished table became a beautiful side table.





The beginnings of a bowl ...



Stone Carving



Wood Carving   - called for a new dremel -- having worn out the old one!


A lazy susan from a slice of one of our trees.


Teaching the grandsons . . . 


Jack's Christmas gift for his teacher this year.


Jack's first rock carving -- on the back is his LaCrosse number "66"

Wood burning became a fun hobby as he received another new tool for Christmas.

Thanksgiving this year at Katie and Marshall's was the Accion de Gracias.  Terry made this ornament.
