Awwwwww Patti, what a terrible thing,  Having been thru broken  bones and 
such, consider yourself on a bit of a hiatus.  use the time to  plan out your 
next masterpiece.  the more you involve yourself in the  design, the more excited 
you will become about it and you will be chomping at  the bit when you are 
cleared to carve again.  Carving at first may be slow  till you gain your 
strength back but it will be good physical therapy for  you.  Rest up friend, enjoy 
your excuse to take it easy.  Time  will  heal.
 
as for my checkering, did make a nice design, but my attempt at checkering  
was pretty awful, not something I want to share with anyone yet.  What I  have 
learned is that the surface must be absolutely flat, almost at a finished  
state before checkering can be done or else anything uneven will be seen as a  
mess in the checkering area.  Kind of different than carving where the  
finishing waits till the carving is completed.  I will be making another  attempt 
shortly. will let you know if I fare any better.  I will not  let it defeat me but 
right now feel a bit humbled by it.
