The Blackhawk Woodcarver
Friends,
Have you ever wondered where folks carve in their homes? I asked around on a
Wednesday morning: in my den, family room, three-seasons room, under a tree
in the back yard, basement, chess table with a bungee chair, best chair I
can find, down in my work shop, down in the dungeon, in the basement, in the
kitchen, in the kitchen, outside, basement, spare bedroom, all over the
house, on the pontoon boat, right now I don't have anyplace, in my shop, on
my kitchen table, where ever it strikes my fancy, anywhere I want, kitchen
or living room, in my recliner, basement, kitchen table or standing in the
garage.
So, there you have it. Carving can happen just about anywhere. I guess the
next question should be, how often do you sweep up the shavings?
