In looking for photos I found the "canned series" and added a few photos and the story behind them. Little daughter Annie (6years old) was in the shop eating a popsicle. She picked up a carved cat head (prototype) and set it on a discarded round block she found in the scrap heap. It sat there on the work bench for a few days until I realized: Next thing I knew I was at the store buying assorted canned goods and cutting off the labels. Here was the result. . . Tuna cats were the first in a series. But I am a dog lover too and along came Mighty Dog! Only about 5 of these in existence with different breeds of doggers. Found a photo of the first mighty dog. (one at far right). As to Jack Mack...this is the only one I ever carved!
Fabulous..them all!...:-)
I love the dog one !!! wow , how much is that doggy in the window? lol

sean68......"the one with the waggely tail!" oops, no tail on mighty dog. They will always be the year I was born. '55'. when my ex and I were also biz partners the single most topic to start an argument was pricing of our art work. I always go with the hourly approach. Carving is- after all- a job! but a very fulfilling one.

Have you made a chihuahua?
Good morning, No, come to think of it! they have cute faces though, good subject matter. maybe sitting on a sombrero.
One of my pieces has a postman standing by a mailbox with a terrier attached horizontally to his leg. The caption reads... "don't worry, he won't bite" A favorite for folks who had postal service careers.
Oh I would love one hanging from a Pitbull and another with a sun conure riding on its back.
My Bella (the brute) thinks she can take my Pitbull. LoL
I have a small zoo. 2 Chihuahua's, Pitbull, Sun Conure, Canary and an Algae eater that's been around since my son started walking. LoL
So sorry.... And a very Good Morning to you!! =^)
Well, let's get the hen house going and then we will see about the rest of your menagerie! lol When we moved to Fl we had 2 goldens, two cats and an iguana named marlin. I love a zoo.
