Everywhere I carve I ask the people who own the land if there are any important family images that might be good to carve. This stumps most people. The son of my current host asked, “Do you carve people?”
“Ah, I guess so”
“How about carving my granpearents?”
“Ah… OK”
So, for the past week I have been working on the grandparent’s wedding photo. They were the original homesteaders of the land where I am working. After the man got set up he sent for the woman in Czechoslovakia. They were married about 95 years ago.
I printed this image, and prints are available for sale here.
