Jan. 20th 2006 was a day that changed my ability to carve for years. I snapped a wrist cartlidge moving furniture and then medical practice spent another 2 years messing things up and trying to fix them.

It's so nice to be able to say that I believe carving will once again always be a part of life.  Once I had the pain under control and some ability back, there was still a long way to go to regain my imagination.

Last year I carved this house - (60hrs as I was just beginning to carve with any regularity again so VERY slow) for the free clinic auction.  It sold for only $60.  When others found out, they said they would have paid much more and I could have donated the money itself.

After that lesson, I carved 3 smaller houses for another fund raiser.  The great part is all the houses went to folks that know me.  I like that.. knowing things I carved made at least a bit of a difference and are hanging where they're loved.
