In an effort to keep life simple and uncluttered at our house, we rarely buy new items anymore, unless we must replace something that is old – which happens now and then, since we have been living here 38 1/2 years!
But last summer we watched one of the worlds best chainsaw carvers (Dennis Beach) carve this beautiful hummingbird at the Manheim Farm Show, and fell in love with it. So when it came up for auction a few hours later, we began bidding – and got it. It amazes me that something this delicate can be designed by a chainsaw. It is 15″ high.
Cerwin and I enjoy watching anyone who is highly skilled in designing things with wood, and often marvel at the God-given talent of human beings.
He [God] has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers – all of them master craftsmen and designers. Exodus 35:35 NIV
