March 17th…Since it was my birthday, I skipped work to see how Brian was progressing on the faces.
The ‘quilt box’ has been added on top and Brian is figuring out what kind of carving he will add to the very top for the purpose of shedding rainwater and to add another uniqueness to my already different looking hive.
Here he describes what he has done and what is remaining to be done. He plans to be done in a week and that means I better get prepared for it…SOON!

Side view of the totem shows how tall it is.
As I’m standing directly in front, it looks like the panther is staring right at me.
The panther was created by sawing wood from the tree, something that’s really hard to grasp for a non artist person like myself. You create something by taking something away.

I should have been hollowing out my next log hive because Brian is going to carve the faces of my three grand kids on it next, but I just wanted to show you how talented he is.
