Some time ago, Bob entered one of his caricature carvings into a contest done by Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine. A few months ago he got an email that said he was a finalist in the contest, and the winners would announced in the November magazine.
The magazine arrived Saturday...
...with the announcement of the contest on the front page.

And after paging through the magazine - there was his carving; 'Self Made Man', which is a carving of a man carving himself out of a block of wood. It got an honorable mention, which is quite an honor, from among all the entries!Of course - I think he's a winner all the time!
Well now, that is great news from your Little Corner of the World! Congrats to Bob!

ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I don't know if I told you before, but Jeff is an aspiring carver. He gets the magazine for Christmas usually...it saves me paying for it and Bethany doesn't have to wrack her brains trying to think what to give him! I love your Bob's work, so full of character.

ReplyDeleteOhhh bravo ! I like this charact and the idea of Self Made Man.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that your husband's carving is much better than mine. I don't do it nowadays but when I did I went to any carving show in the area and there saw so many people whose wood carvings were fantastic. When I saw that, it made me want to crawl back in the hole. lol
ReplyDeleteWoooHooo, Congrats to Bob, he is good
ReplyDeleteOh trust me Mari...I too think he's a winner!!! Honorable mention....pfft!!! It should be first place if you ask me.

I can't believe it didn't win! Looks like the best one to me, by far! I love Bob's work; he is so original and incredibly talented. Someday I want to buy one of his pirate carvings! Maybe he'd carve a likeness of ME as a girl pirate!
