John Scholl, a carpenter by profession, did not begin wood carving until he was retired at the age of 80. He carved a series of folk art wood carvings which he hand painted all based on "celebrations". Scholl did not sell or give away his carvings rather he chose to display them in his front parlor for friends and family to enjoy.
At his death, the carvings were put in his parlor were they remained until the 1930s when they were put away and stored in his barn. In the 19 (showing 500 of 1009 characters). |
