| Chuck Felten |
Prior to my unexpected retirement from a 40+ year
career as a union sheet metal worker, I started woodworking as a
hobby. I started by building a car from a pattern in Woodworker's
Journal. That first car grew to encompass collectibles for all ages -
everything from a $1.00 car to a $3000.00 train. I especially take
pleasure in building construction equipment replicas which are
completely detailed out. In fact, I have a story about one of the
construction replicas. A Caterpillar scraper that I had on display at
a local supperclub was seen by an attorney. He went on to buy the
scraper and use it in court to demonstrate for the jury and went on to
win the case. After an unfortunate work-related injury, I was forced
to retire and now devote full-time to building my collectibles. now designing
many of them as well. I guess I am really a frustrated, overgrown kid
who didn't have enough collectibles. Now I have 2 rooms of
collectibles in display in
my home topped off by a 22' trestle with the collector train. I'm
finally getting all the collectibles I want.

| Leslie Felten | As Chuck's wife, I started helping him glue small parts, trace patterns and other miscellaneous tasks as the 'prentice. My interest in woodworking grew and Chuck taught me how to do intarsia. I enjoy building animals, particularly those representative of our beautiful north woods, i.e., eagles, deer, moose, wolves and fish. |
Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 11:28 AM Subject: Re: Testimonial I have 16 construction and trucking models built by Woodchuck. As an owner of working construction equipment and commercial trucks, I have never seen such Quality and detail put into a scale or wooden replica. The selection is vast and new models are introduced almost monthly. These are a timeless treasure, surely to appreciate in value as craftsman of this caliber retire from the trade . The only problem I have found with these replicas is I no longer have room to display them all!!! Bob LaVoie Park Falls, wis. June 2001 |
| Carved wooden eagle gift - Potawatomi Gathering 2000 Thank you for the abovementioned gift. We originally requested one of our veterans keep this, however, he suggested it should hang within our Administration Building. It now hangs directly behind our receptionist's desk where everyone who enters the building has a good view of it. Various comments about the artwork itself and the artist are made daily. Appreciation and acknowledgement is given. Chief Joseph B. Gilbert Bkejwanong Territory Walpole Island, Ontario August 29, 2000 |

| I am once again in need of tow trucks and would like to pick up six each of the large deluxe wrecker as well as the small wrecker. If memory serves me right, this will bring me to a total of 30 units now. The tow truck operators are amazed by the fine detail in these trucks. They have been a wonderful fund raiser for the World Wrecker Museum in Chattanooga. Let me know when these will be ready. Best Regards, Don Rolling Don's Towing Madison, WI June 10, 2001 |
