Hello Joe

You're right about November being too early to start with the Christmas 
carols. On the workbench front, I've just had a small commission for the 
local church. The minister is leaving and I've been asked to carve a 
pair of hands with a dove as a gift from the congregation. Not 
especially Christmassy but it keeps the wolf from the door. I'm off to 
demonstrate at Brodie's Timber < www.brodiestimber.co.uk > on the 1st of 
December and I'll be taking my Santa Clause, the one that didn't win the 
Woodcarving Illustrated competition, for company. No, I'm not bitter: I 
was beaten by a worthy winner - several worthy winners in fact.
