When I was visiting for Christmas, my grandma’s brother, Uncle Bill Blocker, made me a Santa Claus Christmas ornament carved and painted out of a golf ball. It goes on my tree every year. As I’m hanging it, I remember that Christmas with the fondest of memories.

My wife and I have been neighbors of the Blockers for the past several years. Really enjoy their friendship. We looked at your wood carvins and were impressed with your talent. I suppose you already know that your son and daughter-in- law are very proud of you…and justly so.

I noticed there are no prices ? Also do you carve soldiers ? I know there are a lot of veterans these days old and young and they make good gifts. I would like to see what some of your birds run ? Maybe an owl for my portch in my new house ? Thanks Laura NP

Hello. I am writing to you from Germany. Your work is so much fun to look at Bill. I especially like the little boy in the big boots and ten gallon hat. Remember when it was safe to play cowboys and indians? Keep up the great work. Good to know your wife is helping you by painting the sculptures. Collaboration is a wonderful part of creating art.
