Woodcarvings by a local Amish man, Paul Weaver. He twenty carvings in his personal collection that took him twenty years to complete.
The carvings are not for sale, and are carved from solid blocks of primarily butternut wood. Weaver is a furniture maker by profession.
Amish families have no electricity going to their properties...figuratively and literally to not "let the world inside."
A "simpler" way of life.
I wish we could have taken pictures (considered a graven image) of the wonderful family (12 sons and 1 daughter) that opened their home to us, but my memories will have to do!

Look like so much fun! The wood carvings are amazing!
Those wood carvings are wonderful. We went to the David Warther Museum, and he carves ships from ivory--to scale, too. He's working on his 80th one. If you ever get there, you'll love it. We were there during the Navy reunion.
what a great experience for you.
