A lovely addition to a backyard garden, this was a piece for Keb from Keb’s Tree Service who supplies most of my logs and sharpens my chains. If anyone needs trees removed he is an expert in this field. He is fully insured and I recommend him highly. He can leave a stump or log for me to turn into a work of art.

Had a wonderful trip to Honduras. Worked on a new girls’ home for the Children’s center doing drywall work and carved a Jesus and child for the center. We administered to kids’ health needs and served food at the dump in La Ceiba, and shared many devotions and testimonies. I witnessed with a surviving daughter (Martine) of the family that was murdered last year. She is the cook for the children’s center. Martine would have been there with the family during the attack but was in the hospital having a c-section. It was a very moving moment, when she realized that I was the one that was with her sisters and mother just 2 days prior to this tragedy. Please continue to pray for healing for her and her father and other family survivors. She lost her 2 sisters, her mother and nephew. We visited the Mayan ruins at Copan, Honduras before coming home.

I have attached a photo of the Honduran carving and a scorpion found in my shower one morning. No carving saws available.

International carver- Rob Peterson

I will be traveling to Sullivan County, PA this weekend, October 13^th and 14^th and carving in the Mid-American National Chainsaw Carving Championship. Sullivan County is in the mountains of PA above Williamsport. The fall colors will be at their peak and the festival will be a lot of fun with lumberjack competitions, crafts and great food. Each day a 45 minute quick carve competition is held along with the 9 hour masterpiece carving over the weekend. There will be up to 18 carvers and lots to see and do.
