[Woodcarver] why

[Mike Gratton]

I asked a similar question in another place a while
ago and the reply I'm hoping is accurate is that it
goes in cycles.  I'm hoping that we're just in a lull
and things will get better.  

I think the bottom line is we've got to keep exposing
the kids to it to make sure there's another generation
willing to take up knife and chisel!
