I traveled to and from Canada on trips and every where looking for wood carving tools. In my mind, I knew how they should look, but no-one had stocked them since the 30's. Papa Vierthalter steered me to a carving Tool Collector at Roy, Washington he had herd of. That fellow had trained in Europe, decided he couldn't or wouldn't go to the effort of carving, so he just collected tools.

I bought five tools that he had in triplicate, or more; some from every country he had been associated with while in the Air Force. I still have those five and use them constantly along with the hundred or more others I've collected myself. Some are 200 years old and really hold an edge.

The Bar pictured here was in the Bavarian Restaurant on the upper dance hall floor. This shows one end and front view. It is backed by four inches of Marine Grade Plywood to prevent and cold or moisture from the beer kegs behind it causing warping. A real chore just to move it . I also did The Bavarian and Viethalter Crests of Arms on wooden doors, many interior statues as well in the Restaurant and numerous statues and Carved Beer Stiens in the Beir Kellar.
