Totem Pole & Other Pieces

I'm very very sorry but I lost track of who sent me the following pictures. Please message me and I'll give credit.

Here we have a lazy Susan with an acorn and oak leaf design.  I distinctly remember this growing up or at least one like it on my grandparent's home.


Next is the mule deer buck relief carving post previously but in this photo it is in my grandparent's house.  Really cool for me to see this one.  That was a long time ago.


Also sent along was a few more picture of the totem pole at the Iowa State Fair and one with The Whittler posing along side a different totem pole.



Richard Bordwell's  Debbie contacted me and shared some photos of a shoe and a Spanish cart created by the Whittler. She also shared a Christmas postcard showing Richard carving a shoe.

Thanks for sharing these and the kind words Debbie.
