Do you want to get in contact with me, please send a mail to eva.elings@chello.se
My grandfather got early retired from his work as a timberman because of his asthma. He spent time hunting, fishing, playing violin and guitar and woodcarving. He carved folklore figures with cloth from Orsa and sold it to tourist. Some of this figures probably remains in America today. When people in his village gathering for dancing he used to play violin or guitar. He was also a hairdresser among friends. I have also been told that he invented a part of a machine for farming.
If anyone own or know anyting about woodcarved figures like this, with the signature "Jon Elings, Åberga, Orsa", please contact me by mail eva.elings@chello.se
