You could win this carving! It will be at the old engine show in Scottville this weekend and they will be selling raffle tickets with the drawing on Saturday. All money made from this will go towards education day for the kids that takes place in September down at the club!

Did my first carving competition! This was a saw only event so no other tools were allowed. Ended up with 2nd place out of 7 carvers and met some awesome people!
