As most of you know Carvin Don is a AWESOME wood carver!
Well, I like his work so much that I contacted him a while back and asked if I could pay him to make me a carving and he agreed. I couldnt wait to get it!
Well here it is, I love it and I am so glad to have it. This carving really brings me joy. He is obviously very talented and a great guy too! I will always be fond of this carving it means a lot to me. Thanks again Don, your the best!


sorry for the bad pics

Does he have a website? While I'm not currently familiar with his work, I'd definitely like to see more of it!

Very nice piece Gino, congrats

And of course, excellent work Don! I really like his style.

Chris, you just have to look for his postings on here. You can go to the "whittling and wood carving" section and see a lot of his work (look for posts by carvin Don). I dont believe he has a site. He is awesome though!

Great Job Don! I know you must be pleased with it Gino. Don's a great guy!

Thanks Perry I am very pleased with it and Don is a very cool guy!

Shuks fellers, you ALL are too kind...

Gino, I am real glad you are happy with him!

Christoph, I do not have a website, maybe one day if I get more educated in the World Wide Web ... I do appreciate the kind thoughts!

Perry, Thank you for your kind thoughts as well!

Don, your talents and your ways are just the best!

His thumb is supposed to be jus a restin' on his belt buckle...but a cowboy's got to fix an itch too , now and then ...

Thanks again everyone, for such nice thoughts!

LOL! Nothin wrong with a little scratch now and then is there.

Way too cool. Very impressive CD

I just wanted to bump this thread up again because I wanted to give more folks the chance to see Don's talent. Also I really am proud that Don made me this piece and very glad to own it.

Gino I'm glad you bumped it up. I'm also the proud owner of one of Don's carvins and I can see why you are so proud and pleased with the one he did for you. Don has quite a gift and I'm continually amazed with his abilities. He's also a fine gentleman and a good friend.

Great work Don!

I too own a couple of Don's works and you would be hard pressed to meet a finer feller as well as wood carver.

Agreed! His is one awesome guy. He aint to bad a carver either!

Only just got round to looking at this forum. Whittling and carving is not such a big thing over here, at least not in this format. I don't know Don, but all I can say is "Respect"!!!
Gino, I can see why you love this carving and enjoy it so much. Wonderful piece of art indeed!

Great carving work, Don! You're a great painter too! That is talent.

You know it looks an awful lot like me Gino.

Don,

What an awesome piece. Well done.

Congrats, Gino. I know you're proud to own that.

Danged if'n he don't look a li'l like you Perry!

Don's work is incredible! The way he keeps his cuts loose but still has detail in just the right places, especially in the painting. Check out the eyes!

Awesome work, Don!

I got one of Don's masterpieces for my Dad's birthday. I don't know if I've shared these pics or not, but my Dad is rightfully proud of it.
This lil' gunslinger holds court on the mantle above the fireplace in the family room.

Hey Blue, when I try to look at the pic it tells me the attachment doesn't exist anymore? Could you please re-post, as I'd love to see it - I have only recently discovered Don's work but am totally fascinated!

oops!

Nice one Blue! Don is awesome and I know your dad will love it, I know I love mine.


DON, YOUR THE MAN!
