Dick! I know I’ve said this before about your work but I have to say it again: THIS IS MY FAVOURITE.

He is wonderful and I can’t imagine him without a yellow slicker on. I’d hate to have to decide whether indoors or out because he would be perfect on the dock but I don’t think I could part with him indoors either.

Awesome!!

Dick, this guy I know, I used to work with him, and he fished where we did. Grizzled old gentleman but kind hearted. I forget his name but it’s good to see him again. What a wonderful carving, where his mercham pipe, and I know its misspelled. Mike

Mike, being indoors, the old Mariner has stuck the pipe in his pocket with his fight hand. He’s waiting to be place outdoors before he lights up again, out of respect for Dick and Barb’s place.

Don, I think it’s time to let the Ol’ feller out. He’d be happier out on the pier, he’s a fisherman, isn’t he? You did a fine job with the paint, too.

It’s got to be the camera. Us (we?) Norwegians do NOT have blue hair.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

That was the reflection from our MN blue sky, or

he must have got some of that bluing from a little old lady.

Ya sure yu betcha!

That must be my grandfather—a Norwegian fisherman.

Thanks for sharing. Very cool

That’s one nifty lad!

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Dick, Very Cool!... you are in fact, a master.

Thanks guys,

One of these days, I’m going to carve an oar, or a harpoon for him.

His hand already has a hole drilled in it waiting for something.
