I create custom designed firewood.
I belong to the Lakes Area Woodcarving Club in Forest Lake Minnesota & Viking Woodcarving Club in Bloomington Minnesota.
I do commission carvings for some clients so if your interested in a carving let me know and we can work something out. Some of the carvings here are also For Sale.
Looking for a great gift or wood carving? Visit my Etsy Store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignerFirewood for current carvings that are for sale.
I currently have a few different projects going and will post them once they are completed, but until then you can see a few of my unfinished projects in my workshop photo's.
I often have people ask about my nickname of BUG. It stands for "Big Ugly Guy". It is my nickname with the Hugo Legion Riders that I ride with and serve as President.
In the photo are our two of our three grand children: Gavin and Cam. Mason is new still and I don't have a picture with all of them together yet.
I am married to a great lady and we have 5 children, most of which are grown (Thank God).
Thanks

Welcome “BUG”.
I was never in the service, but I had a cousin was a SeaBee in WWII. He was a sailor on the great lakes as a civilian,
& when he got in the service, they gave him a hammer, & told him he was a carpenter. LOL
