DECORATED FRAMES with MIRRORS by LEO NAUGLER
I have been asked to post the Leo Naugler decorated frames with mirrors. The green one is approximately 17 inches square, with the frame 3 inches wide it is decorated with woodland motifs, pine tree, tent, fishing pole, anchor, heart and a pair of moored boats. It is dated 1999 and signed. There are no issues.
The second one is white and measures 15 by 21 inches. It is chip carved, like the first and has traditional rose flowering vines along the sides rather like an appliqued border on a quilt, and top and bottom are Leo’s red and black finger-dots on yellow fish. I think these fish are his favourite motif and it makes me smile each time I see one of them!
I do not call it an issue, just due to using greenish wood – the mitered seams of the frame, although tight at the outside edge, have opened a little toward the inside. I don’t see this as something that needs to remedied, but everyone has their own opinion – just wanted you to know it is there, as it is in most of Leo’s frames. On looking again at the green frame one corner is slightly open toward the inside edge.
This frame is signed and dated 1999 on the back , actually in two places – the frame and on the mirror.
For those of you looking for further vintage quilt kit postings, I recently acquired a fantastic Paragon Applique kit and will post it and some wholecloth Doublestencil/Spartex quilt kits in the next day or so.
LEO NAUGLER ENQUIRY

SOLD “FREE WILLIE” and LEO NAUGLER BIRDHOUSE July17/09
The first picture is of Leo Naugler’s “Flying Fish” – this is a large carving which will be extremely expensive to ship as it will need careful and well padded packing to ensure no damage occurs – perhaps this is better as a pick up! There is a stable crack along one side of the body due to drying and curing of the wood. This does not affect the integrity or strength of the piece.

SOLD July 17/09 Leo Naugler Birdhouse
I’ve had several inquiries recently about my folk art pieces, especially those of Leo Naugler. I am posting pictures today of the pieces I currently own and inviting inquiries. Above, starting with the first picture, is a funky Leo Naugler birdhouse – wouldn’t that be a fun addition to your covered porch?
