[Woodcarver] The Original 100!!

[shlew6]

Hi!

I remember you, John Jellies! 

Bill, I may not be within the 100 either but I suspect I'm close...back when you had your original website setup, Bill.

I started silversmithing and liked it a lot but wood is still my favorite medium.  
I last carved 1/12th sized birds and ducks and have a 1/3 size Bald Eagle on the table wrapped in a protective towel for several years. I'm afraid to touch it again.  :-)
I've been both ill and injured, haven't touched my carving table for almost 3 years but I'm getting the itch and will do so now.  
I'm my old self again only better, thank God!

I have been missing Craig Watson's emails and I am afraid to ask but does anyone have news of him?
Is Lyons Knives still operational?
Nice to be back.

Sheri Lew

  John:


  I have lost records of the original 100 subscribers... who would have thought the list would swell to 850 members.
  But you have a special place on the List as one of the early members, for sure.

    Gosh,


    I'd need to ask dear Bill if I was in the first hundred. If not, then I was probably 101 :-)


    I enjoy lurking and have continued to carve but also paint, sculpt and do metalwork. Carving is a wonderful form of expression though and there is nothing quite like the smell of wood and the sharp ssssshhhh as a knife cleaves cleanly through the grain. Maybe others could weigh in on the things they love about carving, other than the product itself? for me, sound, smell of wood and a sense of fellowship with other woodcarvers.
