2013 Western Idaho Fair

Several of the Idaho Woodcarvers Guild members have participated in carving demonstrations at the Western Idaho Fair, in Garden City. A good time was had by all as we talked to others about our art and showed carvings off that we had completed. Several of our members also entered the carving competitions and placed in woodcarving categories. Those members included Doug Rose, Jason McKinnon, Don Brigham, Gene Fuller, Dale Shoemaker, Dale Parsons, and Eric Owens. Past members who placed include Dorian Wheaton and Lennie Williams. Overall, it was a great showing for the Fair and the club members. 

One of my favorite things: carving.

                                                  Having a great time!

                 Jason McKinnon carving one of his great zombie bark carvings, although by the time he finished this, I believe he turned it into a wood spirit. Either way, a great job!

 Just a few of my carvings on display, except for the bark house and the zombie carving. Those belong to Jason.

 Jason did the bark houses, and I did the busts, along with the cowboys at the bar. That is one of my favorites.
