This is a picture of my workshop and it looks like a cyclone has gone through it but I know where everything is at! This is where I do my work so if you borrow anything put it back where you got it.
This is princess blue with blue suede shoes and you may wonder where we got the blue suede shoes. Well if you read the history it goes back to 1492 when she went down into the slave quarters and gets a leather maker to make

This carving was done in 2011. She was on display at the Dogwood city art gallery in Tallapoosa. Some people from South Carolina ran a restaurant bought it for $800. I had shipped it by fedex and they slung it off the truck
This was a backdrop for my fish pond. It was a slab of wood and I mean a real slab because it was 6 foot long and about 4 foot wide. That's a pretty good size tree! I took it and carved what you see here. It's my rendition

This is the ground breaking of the First Baptist Church of Tallapoosa in 1956, I think, and we finished it in 1957. I believe in 1950 we built the educational building so this would have been the auditorium. If any of you y
How about those white wall tires on my 1941 Chevrolet Coupe? And better still how do you like my girl out in front? After church we went riding around. This photo would have been from 1951 and if I'm not mistaken that was o
This is Charlene's lineage. Going from the left to the right this Charlene's mother and father and then her grandmother and grandfather on the Cason side. I'd say Charlene is the best looking thing on here!
One of my classmate's daughter called and wanted to see some old, historical pictures. So, she came and went through my pictures and got a few prints. After she said she'd like to take my picture with my masterpiece. She di
Someone said that I needed to put my picture on facebook so they wouuld know who they were talking to!
This picture has been on Facebook several times they have all ground.up.
Found this picture of one of my boys but I looked at it a couple of times before I realized that two of my boys are in this picture. I wonder if you lookers can pick them out. It seems out of character for Mark dress wise a
Chuck without a beard. What about that! Once he grew a beard he never showed his chin again. He said it was too pointy but he is a good looking guy. The growing up years are too short.
This is my great granddaughter. Girls were scarce in my Smith generation. We had a nest of boys but we left the girls up to Frank, Frank had all the girls. This is Tori Smith, Chad and Noelle's daughter. She's a smart girl!
