A Whale of a Time

My dad decided it was a good idea to send me pictures of all sorts of things I've made in the past so that I could post them on my blog. To honor the effort and to show you all a bit of my past projects I will now post them. Here's something I made a long time ago. I must've been 17 or 18 at the time. It's a blue whale or at the very best an interpretation of one. I sculpted it in red cedar. Actually, a fence post offcut I got when my grandfather built his fence and deck. I think there was a pattern in a magazine for it or something or other because I cannot draw a convincing whale on my own. The lucky part was the eye. It's actually a knot in the wood that was just in the right place! More or less. :o)
