I carved this from a piece of White Pine that came from a tree struck by lightning.

I must have carved this about 16 years ago. The color has changed over the years.

It has about 4 coats of Marine spar varnish.

I always like a project when the wood has history connected to its end result. How often do you need to refinish it or is this still the original finish? Very nice.

Its a nice feeling to make something then getting to watch it age gracefully. Your sign sure has.

Your carvings are great! I always like looking at them. I’m especially appreciative of carving because I can’t do it. No skillz baby! Artistic as a pineapple. A chisel in my hand is as clumsy as a chisel in the flipper of a whale.

I knew it…you are an attraction…or should I say…one of those places you’ve got to go to, if you are in that neck of the woods. Great sign, Dick!

We do attract a lot of wildlife, I guess they know how to read the signs.
