I’ve had an inquiry which I’ll pass on to the group. If you can help this lady out & are interested in the commission, private message me & I’ll send you her contact info

“Hi,
I’m hoping you can help me. My manager is celebrating 45 years with the company and his team would like to gift him a Lion carving (Lion represents leadership). Do you know of any carvers in Manitoba that does this kind of work? Or know where I could find one?”

Hello my name is Wendy Peter and I am trying to find a wood carver in Manitoba who does small detail work.
I have a sign I need to complete with an emblem for a legacy home that was passed down to us.
I am needing to have two carvings done of this image, about 8” tall on 1”-1.5” thick wood so it can be attached in each side of a sign.
Can you recommend how to go about finding a person who would be interested in doing this at an affordable cost?
Is there somewhere I could post a request?
Please let me know.
Thank you

“I am the unfortunate bearer of very sad news. Larry Vanderhyde has passed away on Saturday July 6th. His son Tim phoned me this afternoon and let me know what had transpired. I will let the membership know of any funeral arrangements as soon as his family forwards that information to me.”

Our deepest condolences to his family
