A little slow but quite interesting. 

 

Yep,..these Black Forest guys are/were awesome and very well known.,..and deservingly so. I love seeing those vintage pics. It's the stuff of legend for a carver. 

Not trying to combine 2 threads here but I saw some information reading about Mooney Warther once (his trains are posted on another thread here),....A group of Germans heard about his trains,...they traveled all the way over here to see them and meet Mooney. Before they left they declared Mooney "Master Carver". I thought that was the coolest,...you know your good when a buncha dang german artist travel half way around the world to see your stuff then declare you the best. Man whata story.

Thanks, Gene.  I've been away for awhile.  I enjoyed the presentation.

Good to see you, James. How have you been doing?  Whatcha been up to?

I have been sidetracked for awhile.  So haven't done much carving.  I did build some tables/benches for the greenhouse.  We are on our 2nd planting this season.  Have been learning, learning, learning.

It is so good to have you back.  I hope you frequent us more often.  

Will try.   Have relatives in Orlando.  And I love Perdido beach
