That is great for the church. I am always sad when I am done and have to give something away. Right now I am making a baby announcement for a friend. It is using the sailboat from the room wallpaper and then I put way too many things under the sea. I finally showed her what it will look like and promised to have it finished by the time he turns 5 :) I sure hope she likes it when done. To be able to carve and get that much money for it would be so outstanding!  But you have earned it and are an inspiration!  ThanksMerrilee

Thanks Merrilee and all for your kind words about 
my Stations. Drawing is something that I've always done and studied in school. I 
have as much fun drawing as I do carving.
 
When a big project. like these Stations, are 
finished there is a lot of mixed emotions, among them is that I hate to see 
the project end. My shop seems to be empty except for the 6 signs I'm painting 
for our church's Corn Beef and Cabbage dinner.
 
That church was very pleased Stations. When I 
finished the altar and ambo for this new church their building fund was drained 
to zero. I suggested that they use these 14 Stations Of The Cross for fund 
raising. They are selling each Station, as a memorial to families, for $2,500 
each, except for the last 4 which are $3,000 each. They are selling very well 
and when they are finished they will have about $30,000 back into their building 
fund. I think almost half are sold already.
