I have been included on a California based craftsmanship museum website for mostly elite level craftsmen. They have a physical museum too.

Also, it looks like I will be doing a community education class on carving. Will probably include a section on my work and Vasa as well. I will provide details as I know them.

A wooden wine bottle that I made for my wine making northern Minnesota inlaws. It is 13.5" tall, and all parts are in wood. The main part is basswood and the labels are holly.

Here is a mechanical toy that I made for my son. It is reminiscent of old European maps that show sea monsters attacking ships. I pretty much just built it by the seat of my pants with no plans or drawings.
A video of it in motion:

If anyone is interested in learning how to carve, here is a link to a carving class that I am going to be putting on through Albert Lea community education (under the hobbies/special interests link):
