Man Cave Stuff: furniture, oddities, antlers, eagles, other wood carvings and turtle rocks (only found in the Finger Lake region of NY). They are experiencing a shortage of antlers, so new works are limited. A fun and interesting place to visit.

This carving was done with a chainsaw during the last week of August 2018. Bill, the man who lives on the property, hired a chainsaw expert to do the work, but he designed the carving himself (That's Bill on the tree, being chased by the bears). Bill is an artist himself. He carves things from antlers, wood, whale bones -- just about anything. We spent three hours visiting Bill. He was a gracious host, showed us around his workshop, and shared lots of stories about his life.
