Good thread Joe!  

 

2008 was a bad year for many but a great year for me!  I discovered carving last
February. I don't think I have enjoyed  as any hobby I have enjoyed carving.  I
started out with a couple knives and now have a chest full of tools thanks to
Larry :-)  Lots of carving books. It didn't take me long to discover that
carving is a blood sport :-)  Even earned a purple carving heart from my friend
Will Hayden. But I got my head together and take the needed precautions now and
have been cut free for 2 months :-)  Speaking of carving friends I have met so
many this year. from folks on line to the fine people at my carving club. Mid
America Wood Carvers in Omaha.   So many people have helped me out and
woodcarvers are just that way. It's a fine hobby and I am glad to be associated
with it.  A special thanks to all of you on this list for your encouragement as
well. 

 

In 2009 I just want to continue to carve and continue to improve. Practice,
practice and more practice.  Good luck to everyone with their carving this year.
I plan to do my first show in October of this year as well.

Hi fellow carvers,

 

What are your woodcarving related New Year's resolutions?

 

Last year I closed the business, resolving to work less and have more fun. That
worked out so well I'm making the same resolution again. I'm still carving. I'm
currently working on some large church carvings but at a much slower pace. They
just broke ground in November and won't be ready for them for awhile. 

 

I plan to continue teaching disabled veterans here in my shop and at Camp
Pendleton.

 

We're also making new plans. My wife and I are putting together a small
woodcarving museum that we hope to have open around September 2009.

 

We're also organizing GOW 2009 (Gathering Of Woodcarvers) for the week of
September 28, 2009.

 

What are your plans, goals, dreams for the new year?
