Meet this dear "Lady with a Basket". Conservatively dressed in her full-length skirt, button-up long-sleeved blue blouse and floral babushka tied around her head, she carefully grips her handled market basket as she waits for the day to pass by. She looks like a very nice gal who has seen a thing or two in her long life so far. She has her hand deep in the apron's side-pocket. It's fun to imagine what she might be holding in her hand at this very moment. Bruce Futterer is renowned for his wonderful detailed carving and attention to facial expressions, as you can tell from this wonderful object. The little lady stands approximately 6" tall and is 2 1/4" wide and 1 1/2" deep.
Bruce has been an avid carver since 1977. Since 2000, Bruce has won numerous blue ribbons at the International Carving Competition held each year in Davenport, Iowa. In 2004 his Santa Claus carving was selected as the National Grand Prize winner in the Woodcraft/Wood Carving Illustrated contests. In 2006, Bruce won Best of Show at the National Caricature Carvers Competition, and in 2005, he was awarded a Gold Medal for Scandinavian style carving from the Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum. Bruce was raised in Grand Marais and returns to the North Shore each summer.
