I know some of you have seen these etchings before, done with a wood burner. I'm showing them again in an attempt to ease my own desire to be at the cabin.
I did these free-hand, many years ago, rather quickly, before the generator quit. There wasn't much gas left in it and I wanted to do something to these crude window frames, so it was a ' full-speed- ahead-project. Each window took no more than 10-15 minutes.
a moose, chipmunk, and
my favorite friendly perching bird, the Black-Capped Chickadee.
Tho, I've been longing to spend some time at the cabin, now is not the time. Soon, I keep saying, but now, I will wait until the hunters have thoroughly cleaned and gone. If I go now, I would be tempted to clean up after the guys. I will wait.
Maybe then, I can stay before the snow flies. I have no interest in strapping on the snowshoes just yet. I will have to wait a long time before another hike in the woods. Until then,
patience. Not something I'm good at lately, but I will practice.
Have a grateful Thanksgiving Week with your families.

Those etchings are wonderful plain and simple. I know about avoiding those deer hunters. My GSD Baron and I only hike in State Parks this time of the year to be safe...:)
Very nice etchings. And very fitting for the cabin. My favorite would be the deer. Quite a talent.
Love the woodburning. The moose is my favorite. They all give it the cozy, upnorth feeling, which I love.
Dear LORD,it just ain't fair!
So much talent in one person and others of us (namely me) got almost none. You, "Bless your Heart", are very gifted. And also endowed with wisdom seen in the fact that you know when to wait about going to the cabin! ☺ ☺ ☺
What a gorgeous way to add character to that space! And the moose is darling, but the chickadee! Really great work--do you ever do boards and other pieces at your house?
they're really wonderful! very nice!
Now you done it. Fred will be burning his cabin down decorating. LOL
We were fortunate to see this work first hand. It is beautiful, you didn't say then how quickly you don the work. I would have thought a day per window.
That was one HOT pencil!!!
You guys have put so much work there, and it is beautiful. Hope the hunters have a great harvest...

Ach - patience - not an easy thing for any of us to learn !
Wow, for a first go at wood burning etching - those are greeaaat!
Gosh, haven't seen them in person in an awful long time. It's fun wood burning ... my work is usually done on birdhouse we build. Have even sold a few that found homes in Tenn.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
