Gene Amondson's
Woodcarvings

(Click on images for larger size)

Vashon Picnic Gene's sense of humor can be seen in his whimsical woodcarvings, some of which he calls "Vashons." These figures are related to Scandanavian trolls, but without their naughtiness or mischieveousness. According to Amondson, "Vashons" have log arms because of all the rowing they do to get back to visit Ballard, and for hugging and being hugged. They also like "lutefisk" since they are related to the Scandanavians.

Vashon Strawberry Festival Parade Gene "mowed" the crowd over with his collection of Vashons in the Vashon Strawberry Festival parade. If you look closely you can see the Elk-Head-lights on the front of Gene's Vashon tractor and his many-road-kill hat.
