Walters Carving

 Here is the latest in in-the-round carvings.  I blew out the door but was able to repair it with a piece that was glued in.  It gave me the chance to experiment with a split  Dutch door.  My wife pointed out that I probably should've just left the top open and the bottom closed...but I didn't.

Here is the finished house.  I had started this over lunch time during Rick's seminar.  I learned a few things about making the shingles more interesting by carving them out one by one and not doing row after row which leads to too uniform a look.  As well he gave me some advice on creating ladders, which I think came out fairly well in this case.  I had this thought to do another home similar to this one, leaning in the other direction and mount them on a base together and call the whole thing "Reluctant Neighbors."  I'll have to see if I get around to that or not.
