Honoring Veterans

Bird sculptor

Ralph Ziegler

of Racine,

Wisc., based his patriotic sculpture

on a photograph by Frank Glick,

which shows an eagle perched on a

gravestone at Fort Snelling National

Cemetery in Minneapolis. The self-

taught carver commented, “I don’t

know if I’ve ever seen anything more

awe-inspiring than the very symbol of

American freedom serving as honor

guard over those who’ve paid for it.”

Spiral Trees

Bob and Vicky Boyce

of LaPlata, Md., created

these ornaments for their grandchildren and great-

grandchildren. Bob carved 20 trees based on Dennis

Carlson’s pattern (

WCI

Holiday 2011, Issue 57), and

Vicky painted them. The pair also made a shelf display

by carving three additional trees in different sizes.
