Abstract:

Toymaker Harold Garrison hand-carves old-time toys, like the hillbilly yo-yo and the gee haw whimmy diddle. Garrison is in his eighty-second year, stands 6'10,” and still lives at his old homeplace in Weaverville. His carving titled “Government Machines” earned him a spot in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
