Logs, Logs, Logs

Henry Royer and Tom Weiss arrived on the Commons with the first load of logs for this years event.  Chad Larsen was there to assist with unloading them as they arrived.  The logs, now neatly stacked, stirs the imagination with thoughts of what dwells within?  The ability to look at a log and see a form  contained within it intrigues me, while the ability to set about carving off the surplus wood to reveal it requires a 3-D imagination that amazes me.  Only the carver in his minds eye knows what resides in the wood. Are you intrigued too?  Soothe your curiosity and join us for the excitement at Carving on the Commons on June 25th & 26th.  See you there!
