Carving Notes

Carving, my definition:

The process of removing the pieces of the wood that don't look quite like what you are making. (The more pretentious of carvers will refer to this process as "releasing the eagle that is trapped in the wood" or some such nonsense.) Sometimes I change my mind about exactly what it is that I am making halfway through, and sometimes I decide to make it smaller, and smaller, and smaller. Some people call that process "making mistakes", but I never make mistakes. Well, one... I thought I was wrong once!

It was my experiences carving that piqued my interest in using old tools. There's no tool like an old tool! They don't make 'em like they used to.

Inter-Woodcarver Communication

There is a discussion group for hobby woodcarvers. It is a listserver, which forwards e-mail to all who have 'subscribed'. It is titled, curiously enough, 'Woodcarver'
