Humor and history shared through carvings

Written by Phil Cerroni

Irving Heritage Society past president Eleanor Corry Bell arranges a collection of Walter Harvey carvings which will be displayed at the West Library through the month of January. Harvey was a self-taught whittler. Cowboys were always a favorite subject and some of his figures are described as “caricature woodcarvings.”

The pieces are owned by the Irving Heritage Society, Don Hamill, and the family of Walter Harvey.
