The eyes have it... or at least, they have ME! Help!
Posted On 05/16/2008 20:43:27 by FloydB
    Not much happening in the carving arena the last couple of days... well, not much obvious anyway. I have a couple of interesting things happening this weekend that I will be able to report about in a couple of days...
    Today, though, I wanted to work some more on the wolf that I started and have been posting pictures of. I read through the next step of the instructions and saw that I had to carve... eyes.

Show some restraint!

     Not much carving got done today. It was a really nice Mother's Day for my wife, though. The kids got up and took good care of her and we had a really nice lunch/dinner.
     Late in the afternoon when Sarah got distracted, I got a wild hair to go ahead and build the carving board that I have been wanting to build for a while. I have seen a couple of websites that have included plans, but I just put a mental image together of what I wanted/needed... Read More



Deep thoughts

     Warning: self-reflective journal entry dead ahead. Read at your own risk. I will not be responsible for you falling asleep atop your keyboard...
    
     I just had one of those "Oh! I get it!" moments.
     Don't you just love those?
     I was working on the roughout of a project (the wolf project from the current Carving magazine) when I noticed, af... Read More
