"Old Man in the Mountain"

[mrchips]

I was commissioned to carve the "Old Man in the Mountain" that fell apart a few years ago in New hampshire. This is on a mirror frame.....pine with oil stains cleared with laquer. This was a wedding gift......he proposed to her here, within site of the "Old Man".

Joe,

Makin Chip$ and Havin Fun!

Old Man

Nice work. I always thought he looked alot like Sen. John Kerry. The Old Man fell the same time John was running for president.

for all who don't live up north, the Old Man in the Mountain was a natural rock formation. New Hampshire has it all over their road signs, license plates and it was a real icon around here with people coming from all over to take a look at it. a few years back, it fell off the side of the mountain and is no more...boo.

Great carving

a few years back, it fell off the side of the mountain and is no more...boo.

In this photo from the 1990s, crews work on the symbolic Old Man of the Mountain in Franconia, N.H.

New Hampshire awoke May 3, 2003, to find its stern granite symbol of independence and stubbornness had collapsed into indistinguishable rubble.

BTW: Great carving!

Looks great to me!!
I do so miss The Old man, I cried when he fell!
Every summer we would drive up, hang out-never know how much you miss it until it was gone...
