<P></P>Gosh,

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

<DIV>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.</DIV>
