21.01.2022 25 members of the Ballarat Probus Club visited Richard in his studio today to view his work, take a walk around Chewton to see his Sculptures on Main Rd and have a sneak peak at the latest life size sculptures in progress. (What is that big log going to be?)..... What an enjoyable visit with great bunch of people!

04.01.2022 This life size carved sculpture, (by Richard Yates) of Street Rodder, Rod Hadfield, and his constant companion Codie the boxer, was recently unveiled and is the 5th Sculpture in the town of Chewton, Victoria. Both of the sculptures are carved from Cypress and are installed inside a replica garage fitted out with tools, signs and T Model Ford.

03.01.2022 Not a great deal of carving has been happening for the past 3 months as we have moved and have been RENOVATING! we got the keys on the 8th Jan and haven’t stopped! Phew, 3 months and so much has happened....Richard has learnt some new skills, he is the Ship lap king! If you don’t know what that is, take a look at the paneling on the walls. Here are a few before and afters! I love American Farmhouse and that is what we are creating! Working on the outside right now....Lots of trees and Big chunky verandah posts! Photos to come soon!
