We'll start this page with a couple of "Fish Stories" - one facing each way. Above is what we suspect is the world-record Large-mouth Bass and certainly a Kansas record. He measures 33" (which we can easily stretch to "3 feet" in a "fish story") and certainly weighs more than the usual kind.

Below us is a flathead Catfish. Note the rich marbling in the walnut which makes it more-closely resemble the kind that actually swim. I suppose that this one would float just fine, but we haven't ever seen it move. Perhaps it's just "playing possum?"

Jeannie is carved from cottonwood.






On the left is "Lady in Blue" - who is somewhat of a mystery lady. She was originally a "Dolly Varden" style, but we youngsters kept thinking that Glenn was saying "Dolly Parton" and he didn't want the confusion so she became the mysterious "Lady in Blue" - a "sort of 1920's Flapper style". She holds a bouquet of flowers - perhaps to feed to our fish friend from above (swimming above her here).











Our native American friend keeps watch on the drapes.


Honest Abe will have trouble splitting rails since he's now made of wood (walnut)- and seems to be lacking his arms. Glenn carved him around October 1995. You can see him "in process" at the lower left.
