Little Ark!

A little Noah's Ark always needs pairs of little animals. My pocket knife is there so you can better get an idea of the sizes involved. With this ark are, camels, brown bears, polar bears, elephants, horses, and rhinos.

Oh! I am also selecting some 30's fabric to start cutting for some quilt squares. That is, if I haven't forgotten how.......

Hello. I am also a carver. I would like to do a Noah's ark for my grandkids. Do you have the plans for the ark and animals. If not, would you sell an ark and figures unfinished and uncarved so that I could paint and carve them my self. My website is www.whittlershollow.com. I enjoy your work.

I really do not use any plans for the arks, as most of the wood is reclaimed/salvaged from new home builds, and cabinet shops. I would be glad to send some sizes, and copies of the animal patterns.

I am now trying to get a bunch done for the Christmas shows and sales. I could sell one, but the hassle of mailing and extra expense may not be worth it. The small ark with just 6 pairs of animals will sell for $50, the larger ones with 16 pairs of animals $150.

Thanks,
