Location: Hugo, Minnesota
Website: www.TheJanosGroup.com
I create custom designed firewood.
I belong to the Lakes Area Woodcarving Club in Forest Lake Minnesota & Viking Woodcarving Club in Bloomington Minnesota.
I do commission carvings for some clients so if your interested in a carving let me know and we can work something out. Some of the carvings here are also For Sale.
I currently have a few different projects going and will post them once they are completed, but until then you can see a few of my unfinished projects in my workshop photo's.
I often have people ask about my nickname of BUG. It stands for "Big Ugly Guy". It is my nickname with the Hugo Legion Riders that I ride with and serve as President.
In the photo are our two grand children: Gavin and Cam.
I am married to a great lady and we have 5 children, most of which are grown (Thank God).
I work as a full time Real Estate Consultant in the Twin Cities area so I don't get to spend as much time doing carvings as I would like.

Hello Tom,
Welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be an exciting and rewarding part of your woodworking experience.
-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome “BUG”.
I was never in the service, but I had a cousin was a SeaBee in WWII. He was a sailor on the great lakes as a civilian,
& when he got in the service, they gave him a hammer, & told him he was a carpenter. LOL
