chuck,tx2 14 Posted October 3, 2011 Bear CreekWhen I was a wood carver, before I know there was gold nuggets laying out in the dirt of the Deserts I would gather Pine knots to carve Trappers & Indians for bean & gas money around Pinos Alto N,M, The image is a carving of a Eskimo, Broken Tusk. that I carved out of a pine knot found on Bear Creek'While I was camped there a small girl turned over a rock & found a 1.3 gram nugget in the Creek, She sure started a Minny gold rush.I met a couple there that had 2 boys & were teaching them the Indian ways, the small one killed a lizard & the mother asked him when he wonted to eat it, super or breakfast? Since it was supper time he picked breakfast, I saw him the next day & asked him how was Mister Lizard, I am sure as hell not going to kill any more lizards, He convinced me he wastelling the truth. Was a good time, chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ant Man 15 Posted October 3, 2011 Another interesting story Chuck. Keep em coming! I really like the wood carving. I used to make carvings until I almost cut my thumb off twice so I decided to stop doing that. Do you still make them? I never tried lizard but heard it's no so bad, better with tobasco sauce.Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck,tx2 14 Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks Paul, I have a one track mine, After I caught the fever I find it hard to relate to any thing Else & I truly loved to carve. Gold is ever on my mind. chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ant Man 15 Posted October 3, 2011 John,I think the bigger the lizard the tastier they get, but that's just what I heard somewhere or made up.Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
