[Woodcarver] The Original 100!!

[Steve Klein]

Hi Marcia,
    I remember the porch project well.  It was a few years after I 
started carving.  My self portrait had me holding a key,  being a part 
time locksmith.  I even put my surgery scar from my open heart surgery 
that I had just prior to doing that carving.  So I know that it was done 
in 1997.
