Delbert (Dub) Jube began carving when he was 11 years old by sitting in the shade of a tree in Renfrew County, Ontario and whittling the day away. The hobby eventually turned into a business venture when at the age of 39, after a 20 year career as a cabinet maker, he turned his full attention to carving. He continues to carve today (2007)

Dub Juby has been stockpiling since late summer for the Ottawa Christmas Craft Sale. The 20-year carver from braeside has whittled more than 150 sculptures for the 10-day show and he's hopeful he'll go home with close to $5,000 in his pocket.

"This is the peak selling period," said Juby, from his booth at Lansdowne Park. "It doesn't really matter where you're situated. The show's not that big that people can't walk through it in one visit" The owner of The Valley Carver, a shop in Braeside, 60 kilometres northwest of Ottawa, has been attending the annual fair for 12 years to generate business during the off season. His store, where most of his handmade pine, basswood and butternut carvings are marketed caters mainly to summer tourists.

Ranging in price from $29. to $75. his product line boasts a wide range of Canadian animals, including bears, deer and moose, as well as a variety of human figurines. Each design is original and requires between seven and 10 hours of labor. Juby says he sells about 70 per cent of the stock he brings to the show each year and attracts "a lot of return business" from the Ottawa exposure. He expects to bank about $5000. from sales, after paying the $1000. booth rental.
