Another Shoe Found in Branson Flea Market

Brian a woodcarver from the Ozarks found a shoe in a Branson flea market signed "The Whittler" and bought it.  He searched the internet and found this blog and found it was made by my grandfather.  We shared a few emails and he sent these picture over.  Thanks Brian.  I'm glad to see the blog is working.

    I also have one of these shoes signed by “ The Whittler 67” I love the detail in his work. Can someone please tell me who The Whittler is? I plan on handing this piece of art down to the next generation and would love to have some back ground.

    I found this piece in my fathers collection and have no idea the history of this piece,

    This blog is all about The Whittler and his son. He was my grandfather and I think I cover most of the info in past posts.

    Like this one has the brief history
