I had worked on this with my Jr. Class at school.

It was set up in the hallway at the entrance ro our dining room.

I also did the luminary cans on the side of the Ice. opened 10# cans stenciled and painted, with a candle in them.

Not easy I am sure... I always like seeing these at formal events.

How long did the carving take ?

Very clever and that takes some talent too.
Looks like you "iced" it, I mean ACED it, real nice, Ray.
Let us know how long it took when time permits.

The Anchorman · Jan 26, 2009

It takes about 2 hours, once the ice is tempered, that takes about an hour.

These are the tools that we use

We do about three carvings a year. Last year we did a Christmas stocking, a Sail Boat, and at graduation we do the numbers for the year, 08.
