This is Oprah giving me a shout out on The Ellen Show.
Here is a short video with the highlights of making the carving of Oprah.
Most people thing the dancing is the best part.
This is the photo Oprah sent to me.
It’s the same shot she used on the Ellen Show without the writing.
You can’t tell the top picture is really the bottom picture.
Pucker Up Oprah, you’re about to get some lipstick.
I was actually allergic to the walnut wood and had to wear a Hazmat Suit the whole time I worked on Oprah.
Oprah sent me a note, some pictures and a nice bouquet of flowers. And she tweeted.
This is what the wood looked like in the beginning.
I didn’t want Oprah to be sitting in any ole chair, it had to be the nicest chair ever carved out of a solid piece of wood and Oprah in it to Boot.
I just love being covered with sawdust.
Here she is, all wrapped up for shipping.
This is an action shot. There aren’t that many still photos of me carving because I always use a video camera on a tripod.
FYI the bandanas on my feet, keep the sawdust out of my shoes.
How snazzy is that? The bandanas match my shirt.
