Login"Dad, I want to try and carve a woodsy face." Said my daughter Kelly, who's home from college for the summer. So after a few quick pointers, and a couple scraps of wood, I handed her a Red oak call, and turned her loose in the shop with my carving tools. She's alway had an artistic nature. And has come to her father's aid many times when I was stumped on a carving scene. Giving her a Red oak call to carve was a "trial by fire". In that, anyone that's carved on Red oak knows that it's a bear to work. But by gosh! She free hand carved a very good "woodsy face" into that call! I'm dang proud of my little girl! "Little Ms. HuntnCarve"!
And here's the call.

You giving up call making would be like me saying, I'm not gona collect calls anymore. :iroll: Sounds good, but its darn impossible. :wink:
Yeah, you know you aint quitting nuttin :nono:
Thats pretty cool that she hopped up there and wanted to give it a whirl. Did a dang fine job to boot. :yoyo:
Go ahead and quit now Dave as I have a couple pieces that would only go up in value :innocentwhistle: Your daughter getting started may cost me a mite more coin as she is good already. :yoyo:
Yep she done a great job
Might could say achip off the old block :laf:
Looks good from here too Dave. :yoyo:
:shck:
:holdon:
Now who REALLY IS carving those calls you're selling & does Kelly know how much you're gettin?? :shrug:
:laf: :laf:
Hamer,
I gave her a piece of whitetail antler to try carving on. She immediately turned up her nose and started complaining about the smell! LOL! I think I'll let her try some cow horn? That'll get her!
Now they know what poor Ol' Dad goes through. LOL!
:laf: :laf: Sounds like you have the respirator hidden purdy good Dave. :eyebrownod:
Seriously tho I've seen your "Old man" carvings & now Kelly's & I think they are both quite nicely done. It appears tho that yours is a bit older looking. Maybe your depicting Gramps & she's depicting Pops. :shrug: :laf: :laf:
Nicely done Kelly. :yoyo:
:yoyo: :yoyo: NICE JOB!!
Dave,
It looks like your kids are talented like their father. Tell her she did a great job on the carving. Or maybe you should tell her that we all complained about it and that she should NOT return to YOUR shop. :biggrin:
Jerry
