The other day, Mr. Handsome decided to return to a hobby that he picked up a couple years ago, and I realized that I never shared the original masterpiece that he created.
When we had a few trees cut down a while back, we of course ended up with a lot of wood. While Mr. Handsome was outside chopping one day, I looked out the window and discovered that he had moved onto a new task. He had a big tree stump in front of him and was using his chainsaw to carve it. Within just a few hours, it had turned into a bear! I was amazed by his skill, especially when he had never done anything like that. This weekend, he started his second chainsaw carving. I’ll share a photo of that when it’s done.
Please follow and like us:
That is amazing!! Well done
How do you plan to keep that from rotting, splitting, or becoming home to 1001 bugs?
We keep it out of the rain, although you could put a clear coat over it. The cracks haven’t been an issue in the two years since he made it. There are a few, but I think that adds to the authenticity of it. One bee tried to start a nest in one of the cracks, but we quickly evicted it.
You really have the patience of a Saint with all mr. Handsome’s hobbies: painting, maple syrup making, music, cast iron cooking and now woodwork. Maybe his next hobby can become deep-cleaning 😁 No for real, you guys are pretty cute together. Don’t agree with every idea you post, but you’re honest and you seem kind. Doesn’t matter what you believe in with those two traits.
Haha, deep-cleaning is my hobby though so I’m not sure we could share that one. LOL. But if cleaning the toilets became his hobby, now THAT would be a winner. Hahaha. I am thankful that most of his hobbies keep him at home, so Little Buddy can watch him and we can all still spend time together.
You are so very kind to say those things about me. I’m very grateful to have you as a reader!
You forgot fishing! It really seems like he’s always trying a new one haha
Ellie, can you do a post about how you celebrate Mothers’ Day?
You’re right! Haha.
That’s a good idea, although we didn’t do anything especially exciting for Mother’s Day. Just enjoyed spending time together. 🙂
Wow, he has some real talent, that is so much fun!! I can’t wait to see his next project.
Thanks, Kristy!
That’s amazing Ellie. He’s very talented.
Thank you, Regina. 🙂
That is SO cool! Your husband is so artistic and it comes out in so many different ways! So neat!
Thank you. 🙂
He did a great job!
Thanks, Alayna!
Wow, It’s awesome!
Thank you!
This is incredible! Does he have plans to make a whole family of 4?
Thank you! That would be cute. I’ll suggest it.
I love reading and seeing all about Mr H’s hobbies. He is very creative and talented. It is interesting to me how he is a mix of science and creativity and how they come out in his life. From dentistry to wood carving and everything in between. A very well rounded man. I thought the bear was really well done.
Any plans for fishing this year? Hopefully your vehicle will never get as filthy on the inside again! Maybe Little Buddy will accompany Dad. 🙂
Thank you Eileen. Those are such kind words. He has gone fishing a few times this spring. Thankfully he hasn’t gotten the car nearly as dirty as that one time. I’m impressed you remember! He takes Little Buddy to small ponds sometimes, but those have to be short outings so Little Buddy stays interested. They are both looking forward to bigger trips when he is older. 🙂
So sweet. I am glad they are fishing together. Mr H and a mini Mr H!
The Bear is cute! He should make a Mommy, & 2 kids bears to go with it. Mr.Handsome is so talented
Thank you, Beth!
Awesome job! Very impressive work 🙂 We had a local wood carver near where we live who made chainsaw carvings but unfortunately he left before we had a chance to buy a piece.
