Three Hares



My lovely friend Rosemary of 
recently wrote a fascinating post entitled 
Optical Illusions. 




Wikipedia


Even though there are three rabbits there are only a total of 3 ears, yet each rabbit shows a full compliment of ears, namely two each. 

Since childhood I was fascinated with this design. 





More than forty years ago, my Father, a Master Woodcarver, carved this belt buckle for me. 





 I used to slide different color suede leather belts through the back.  





Sometimes I slide a piece of fabric through it. 
Carving this design out of walnut wood is very difficult...especially delicate parts such as the ears. Often weak areas will break just about the time the piece is finished. 




My Father also carved this belt buckle for me.  It came in handy to cover up repair work on this wooden chandelier.  






My Father and I collaborated on many pieces.






One of four legs to a chess table.






One of two bases for a glass topped coffee table.  

I always told my Pappa that he did the best work for me.
