[Woodcarver] one eye carving

[Sylda]

Tom, I¹m sorry to hear of your problem.  Thank God I have 2 good eyes, but
tried doing some things with one eye closed and now understand your problem.
I¹m sure it won¹t be easy, but maybe patience and practice will at least
help.  I¹m sorry your sorta having to ³start over², but Thank God you have
one eye, two hands, and the desire to carve.  Hope others can actually help
you.
Good Luck,
Sylda
