Remember two of the grand kids wanting "something Biblical"?  The granddaughter got the cross, the grandson gets Noah's Ark, designed by Sheila Polhemus.

Funny story; while I was working on it, a new neighbor came by, stood in my shop doorway, and asked, "What ya making?"  Without looking up, I said, "Noah's Ark.  Want to help me start collecting animals?"  He just quietly walked away.   ;)

Wow that is awsome.........Why is it when people ask a question you give an honest answer and they walk away.
 That's to funny..

Great job Bill, some of the critters look to be having fun as well. Lots of very fine detail I'm thinking you had to be very careful not to break it.

I'm just sitting here thinking up all the things this guy might be telling his wife or friends about the crazy guy building an ark in his little shop and looking for animals. Not enough room here for my wild imagination. LOL

Beautiful work Bill!  Excellent detail.  Guessing Oak?  What dimensions on the project? 

Each time you see that neighbour, make it a point look up at the sky like you're checking for rain! :D
