Was it really "that" long ago?... guess it was. I caught the carving bug when introduced to carving as a Boy Scout. Then I progressed from a pocket knife to X-acto blades and 2x4 off cuts. A lot of chips have fallen over the years as I learned more about knife blades and wood. Carving is one of 3 things I have always enjoyed and so I've carved sporadically over the years ever since I carved my first neckerchief slide.

I admire all types and styles of carving because each one reflects the love and dedication of the person who created it. I may not attempt to carve something someone else did but I can relate to their love of and dedication to being creative.

Humor in life has always attracted me so I enjoy sharing situations which reflect the obsurdity of the human condition. Caricature carving is where I'm most comfortable and it makes me feel good if I can lighten someone's load or bring a smile to their face through a carving I created.

I would like to have the time to experiment with various painting mediums, materials and techniques.

Our home club is the Leipers Fork (Tennessee) Carving Club, 28 miles southwest of Nashville or about an hour's drive on the Natchez Trace from our home in Hohenwald, TN.

Participating in woodcarving events and shows around the country, drawing patterns to share with the carving community and (trying to) sing and play music on my pedal steel guitar or flat-top guitar. Painting was a favorite pass-time too though time no longer allows for much of that.
