This here is a big ol' Hack berry log. 5ft tall, almost 18in across and something like 300lbs. What a moose of a log. The manager or something in X-ray found out about me through another co-worker and asked me to carve him a moose he saw in Silver Dollar City. He got me a few pictures and gave me artistic license to use my judgment so I took advantage of the 68 degrees and a Friday off.
This here is the head roughed out. Moose have beards, who knew.
The moose is the one on the left.
There will be antlers or horns or whatever moose have attached later. I was able to cut off two big chunks large enough to make the antler-horns, so it will be from the same log.
It's a good thing I got pictures 'cause I don't know jack about moose, much less moose about jack.
The main thing X-ray Ron liked was the pot belly and the big goofy teeth, so say cheese.
This one is already fun and it pays real money. I think I'm going to buy another chainsaw or a welder, I not sure yet. The money is already burning a hole in my pocket, better concentrate on the task at hand.
Hey cuz, your back! That moose is gonna be really cute. I'm glad you clarified which was which because I was a little worried when I first saw the picture. Don't forget to show us the toys you made.
