These are wonderful! Now everytime I start a fire in our wood stove I feel guilty. My husband produces an abundance of shavings and somtimes plays around making a tiny, one shaving "shaving horse" for visiting children.

Judith, your husband has many admirers here, and I hope he knows it
I have an offtopic, random, and possibly very silly question.
My vision's a bit dodgy and I can't for the life of me see how/where your wodge of woodchips is 'in space'
Am I looking from the side? Underneath? See what I mean about random questions?!

I tell him, Leila...by the end of the day, though, he's not up for talking 'pitchforks' much
I took the picture standing kind of from the side...so from above and slightly to the side he is about to move the pile so I wanted to get a picture before they go out....don't think I have a sculpture in me...although at one time I would have given it a go!

To think, all of the shavings from whittling are just an expert level do-it-yourself owl puzzle!

I'm always in awe of what folks can do if they set their mind to it.

Oh my goodness, how amazing are these sculptures - and from wood shavings yet. Something I have never seen or heard of before.
What a creative treasure of a man, definitely worth splashing these pics around so others can enjoy them as much as I.
