...........did someone mention R/C stuff??

I dabble in r/c cars/trucks/boats too. My claim to fame (in that regard) is I once built a formula one style race car with NO electric motor in it!!

Instead I used various sizes of model ROCKET motors must be the 'rodder ' in me always lookin to make something go faster....LOL!!!

Some real nice work on your site.
Showed my sister-in-law who has her new home all done up in a rustic design and is into black bears and moose for this house but didn't see any wall hangings that would suit her.
Keep up the good work:
My other hobbies are the building of canoes and can be seen here:
http://www.mainemade.com/members/profile.asp?ID=2939
But as long as there is no snow or ice I like to be outside fishing, hikeing or going Goecacheing.
I also love to cut and split fire wood and do about 20 cord a year for my self and a few customers that I have.
Haveing the customers pays for my labor and my heat from November to April and that is just the gravey.
Something about being alone outside doing this work gives me all the time in the world to just think.

My hobby is raising beautiful puppies (which the site will not let me show you). Pictures did not shrink to fit the space here.
Anyway I raise Maltese puppies from AKC Champion lines, (and have had a couple become AKC champion when shown by a friend). Working 2 jobs I don't have the time to show them, but enough time to love them and make them a part of my family.
It is a hobby I do enjoy.

Gina, I hope you keep their wings clipped.
Gerry, My first stripper was his Guide Model At 20' what a whopping big canoe. Had enough left to make a 13'. Would through you like a bucking bronco. You know, Stroke, stroke,swim, swim. It's still around somewhere and the guy won't let it go. My last ones have been Ted Moore designs.
Here's a couple of Christmas pieces I just finished. One for the table and one for the door.
