My daddy was many things, but one of the things he was best at, I think, was wood carvings. He made a lot of these little boots, as well as ducks, deer, bear, snakes, etc.

(I was moving these boots to take a picture and discovered that one of them is full of teeth. I was slightly unnerved until my nephew Sawyer told me that that is where he and his oldest brother, Brayden, keep the teeth they lose.)

Your father was a fine craftsman...and what a great keepsake you have from him.

What beautiful carvings, it must be great to have such things to remind you of your father. I love the way the boots are pointing in each of the three images, so nicely balanced.

Nice triptych and story. It's great to have such lovely mementos of your Daddy. I like the story about the teeth, too. My youngest son ( now 24 ) preferred to stash his teeth in a little bamboo pot, rather than let the tooth fairy take them.
Oh, and yes this sc has been a heap of fun, and I've now got some ready to go, too, just when it's time to finish.
