Hal Allen (Hal in Seattle)

I started in 1994 , at Dick Webers house i carved at least once a week , until he announced he was retiring then i carved twice a week until he moved
to Whidbey Island. I then hooked up with Wayne Gunderson for a year or two then started going to Gil Drakes for acouple years.For the last 3 to 4 years have just been carving at home not as much as i would like , but i keep plugging away. Like most carvers i will start something then move on to something else before i finish the !st one.

Caricatures in the round.
Santas , Cowboys , Baseball players , Witches & Animals
Bark caving
NW Indian Art relief

No frost but its definatly been getting cooler. This time of year we use our Fireplace insert and since i've been laid off (reduction in force) we seem to be using it more! Hopefully we will have enough wood for the season.   When you go out in your back yard be sure and take o2 bottle with you , can't have you getting stranded with out one. Can't wait to see the Pill Size Carvings , take care and hopefully the VA will come up with an answer for you ,GET BETTER!!

Hal... may take a while..with all of the medical stuff.. really hard to move around.. if I just stay in one place I do pretty good. I went out in the back yard yesterday and did not think I would make it back in to O2..have an appointment at the VA next week..about to give up on my local guy...I have the other two drawn on the wood but have not got them cut out yet.. but I also have had to help the wife with a couple of birds..mounting and doing some sodering. I will keep you posted.
