Captured Turtle


Here he is.



Close up of his head.



Great way to capture one, don't you think??

This was carved by the teenage son of a friend of ours here in Bahia Asuncion and given to us as a gift. We love him and he has a special new home on our bookcase.

I saw the headline Captured Turtle and ran to sharpen up my sword for battle. When I opened the thread I gave thanks that I did not need to spill blood today. Here is a depiction of what could of happened. :lol: Very nice carving by the way.…

I like him. A nice piece of art. What size is he?



I think the world is run by C- students.

The wood is probably about 2 feet long and about 9 inches in diameter---- I will take a shot that shows some size perspective.

I did not have my camera when we were at their house, but I do want to get a picture of David, the young artist, holding it.

But I will never be able to capture his magnificent smile when he gave it to us---

I have seen a couple of other carvings he had done, and he is good. His father is also good with wood. The trophies he made for one of the surf compititions were great---toy wooden "woody" type cars with surfboads on top.

Sorry for the title---knew it would bring out the swords. :lol::lol:
