[Woodcarver] How do you know when you are a woodcarver?

[Joe Dillett]

Hey Larry, are you covered in snow yet? Looks like we got about 5 inches already today. With all the snow cover our bird and squirrel feeders have been busy this winter.

It's a good time to stay in the shop and carve. I'm about half done with a 9 foot walnut mantel.

  That little stone in your shoe turns out to be a basswood chip.

  You know you are a woodcarver when you can't count the number of friends you have that all can't count the number of knives and gouges they have.

  Let's have some fun.

  Things are a little too quiet, maybe because we keep staring at our 10-foot snow drifts (here in the Midwest) waiting for them to melt.

  So I thought I would start the question and you add your answer to it.

  How do you know when you’re a woodcarver?
  1)      Woodchips are found in the strangest places.
  2)      Your garage can’t hold the car because of too much wood.
  3)      When asked what you want for your birthday you point to a tool in the woodcarving catalog.
  4)      When thinking of a present to give to someone you first think of what you can carve for them.
  5)      All your pencils are sharpened with a knife.
  6)      You wish someone would invent an automatic sharpener, especially for the V-tool.
  7)      Band-Aids, Super Glue and black pepper are in your tool box.
  8)      Your vacations are planed around woodcarving events.
  9)      There is never a shortage of kindling wood for fire starter.
  10)   You are like a dog when you go to the beach or woods, because you always come back with a stick.
  11) Your wife starts a wood-aholics group for you and your friends
