My Limberjack collection.

Folk art, carved, articulated limberjack. 

9.5 inches tall with an unusual body and face.  The Anonymous Works' site that lists parts of the collection for sale has a 19th Century picture of a carver that has the same style of carvings as this little guy - definitely the same carver of this limberjack.

Home made whirligig

This is my most recent whirligig - a summer whittling past time of mine.  Carved out of yellow pine with fir paddles.  14 inches high, not including the paddles.  The arms turn smoothly and quickly and mounted in the back yard.

Circa 1900 folk art, Swedish birch bark box

Measures 4.5 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches high.  Made of many layers of birch bark with a wooden lid and base.  The most amazing part is the many folk art decorations that are made of birch bark and applied to the piece.

Maple burl bowl.  12 inches in diameter and 6 inches high.

19th C hand dovetailed document box with tray.

19th C Norwegian or Swedish svepask.
