'Eight to Go'

HAH! That’s funny, and a great carving. Thanks for sharing.

Hoorah for the gallery. I find it quite rude and will be glad when it fades from the project list in a day or two. Thumbs down, wishing there was an unfavorite button which would block it.

Cool!
You know what cats are good for? Targets!

Just in fun! And isn’t that why we do woodworking?

Thanks Kolwdwrkr, appreciate that you got a chuckle. You too Ned, I appreciate your input. Yeah, sometimes my stuff can be a obit dd-ended but certainly never meant to offend. It’s like the time when I sent this spoon to the gallery owner, it had a woman’s head at the end and breasts in the bowl part.. named ‘Breastfeeder’. She commented that she felt like the piece was objectifying women (objects of beauty?) and that she took offense. Actually, the spoon had been created during a time when my wife lost both breast to cancer. So no ill intention had gone into the carving itself, but her take on it was coming from a different ‘place’. So from now on, just look at my ‘good’ pieces. (grin) Anyway, I gotta tell you that I really like those cutting board designs in your profile. I haven’t seen any like them. And if you want to put me on your Christmas list….. :-)

I’ve got two cats. If you were to have carved them, it would be a big footprint on their backs because they always run under my feet when I’m trying to cook dinner or carry something heavy up or down the steps. Of course, in trying not to squish them, I’m ussually the one losing one of my nine lives as I fall down the steps or spill a pot of bioling water. lol. This is a high quality carving even if it does make me a bit sad.

Of all the things I’ve ever seen that are tasteless, that is one of them. (But you did a good job on it, from a technical standpoint).

Yeah, Peik, I kinda knew it was when I carved it but had problems enough trying to figure how how to fit the whole cat into a 4×4. I like that kind of input though. Thanks Big Bob and Rustic.

Kinda brings to mind the phrase, “Cats sleep fat, and walk thin”, in a twisted sort of way.

A series?

Now we need to see the other “eight” dead cats.

At least I would.

Get creative. And keep going.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

i think this piece is great, it show’s a side of life we all try to ignore, death. great work and keep’em comin.

I’m laughing hard, great piece, and a nice job from me.

-- Dan Wiggins

I like it, I had a good laugh, called the wife over, and she laughed. We have had a cat for about 12 years now and I don’t see anything wrong with it. Great carveing.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha ha ha ha…......ha ha…..ha….oh man..let me . . . catch my . . . .breath . . ...........Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a cat hater or anything like that but this is funny! and I’m sure there are people that wont like this but there’s a lot more out in this world to worry about and make a fuss over then road kill. ( a fake one too) I wish I could carve like this. Great job man! Keep it up.

And by the way I love the duck you did too!

My wife just saw this from across the room and thought it was a foot wipe, you know , Those things you wipe the dirt/mud off your shoes before going into the house. And she absolutely loves cats.This is just to funny!

I putting you on my watch list.

What next a Cat A pult I like it.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I second Mike’s idea “a series”! The other eight lives. Fantastic! Make them all out of 4×4s.

-- Bob Clark, Tool Collector and Sawdust Maker

I’d like to see what he can do with a 2×6?

-- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery.

The 2X6 would be the interpretation of an encounter with a Mack truck. Wait, that would be a 1X12.

-- Scott - Katy, Texas

The series could start with a 1×12 on edge, 2×6 on edge, 4×4, 2×6 flat, then 1×12 flat using appropriate sizes to fill in the blanks. I can hardly wait to see this :-))

Or a series of 9. The fewer the lives, the flatter the board.

-- Scott - Katy, Texas

That is hillarious. Great work, more people should take a bit of humor in their lives, especially in times like we are in now.

Thanks for the post.

I love this…..I’m a cat guy and I do love it. I think even my wife would enjoy the humour…(I won’t test that theory just now as I just got back onto her good side) Wonderful work!
