Hunting Picture to wood art?

[bluemoonrising]

A few years ago I believe there was a sponsor on this site that could take a person's hunting picture and turn it into a wooden trophy. Any body remember the sponsor? Thanks

I think you are probably talking about a guy goes by the handle of  Hooked.  He is the one who did the burn of Biggie and his moose.

Haven't seen or heard anything out of Chip for a long time. He went by Hooked on here as mentioned.

His woodburned pictures were works of art. Hope he is doing OK.

He was a good member and an Assoc Sponsor.  he hasn't been around in a while.  Quit posting not long after his dad died.

Hope all is well with him.

That is it. Thanks guys!

Hi!  Well, close, Terry...thankfully my Dad is still with us, but it has been a long time since I have been on here.  Around the time Garrett, my son, had his third heart surgery I think is when my posting slowed down and eventually dropped to nothing.  Garrett is doing great.  Still only has half a heart, but he is as ornery and energetic as any other 8 year old I know, lol.

I also took quite a hiatus from the carving and woodburning.  I got a little burnt out, no pun intended from all the orders I did for TradGang members.  I am back though and need to talk to you about being an assoc sponsor again.  Gonna take it slower this time.  At one time a few years ago I had like 27 orders on my waiting list.  This time I think I will only take a couple orders at a time, if people are still interested.  Need to refresh my memory on how to post pics on here.  I think I used to use photobucket.  Gonna have to check TradGang guidelines.

Hi from Spring Hill Chip!
Look forward to needing some of your work.

[4dogs]

Welcome back. Very good to hear Garrett is doing well!

[Hooked]

Someone mentioned Biggie and his moose in an above post.  Just thought I would share...and, Terry, I just sent payment to be an assoc sponsor again.

[Hooked]

Thanks, 4dogs!  Good to be back

[DHOWARD]

Wow!! How do we get on the waiting list??

[Hooked]

Dhoward,

Just posted a listing on the St Jude auction...that's one way, lol!

I actually don't have a waiting list at the moment.  I haven't taken orders in a few years with the exception of Buff's elephant that I just finished.  But I am back in the saddle and taking orders.  Before when I was actively doing these pieces I had 20-30 on my waiting list at one time.  Which I think contributed to me getting burnt out.  This time I am only going to take deposits on a couple at a time so I don't get so overwhelmed.

[Hooked]

Once Terry has my associate sponsorship thing set up, I will post in that section about waiting lists, prices, etc.

Thank you again Chip...  Love the art you did for me!

Welcome back.

I remember the Biggie "build-along". Real neat to see the finished product.
Welcome back.

Wow! That is incredible.

[Sam McMichael]

That's a fine pair of moose in that picture, Hooked. I look forward to again seeing your work  highlighted on Trad Gang. It would be even better to get something worthy of your talents.

[Hooked]

Sam,

Any animal is a trophy and worthy of my work!  I've done trophy pics with does and spikes, pheasant, turkey, etc.  I think it is more about the memory than the size of the trophy.  Anything taken with trad gear is a trophy.
