a time when I was almost obsessive with my carving. Now I give thanks for
commissions, seems nothing motivates like money sometimes. When I have really
been stalled, there are three things I found would get me back into it.
One was to clean my shop. Seems I just can't stand it when its just too
organized. Another was to sharpen and/or hone all of my chisels. Theres just
something about a wonderfully sharp tool that begs to be used. But the
best motivator that I ever found was to help another carver along.
Perhaps theres a youngster around who would like a few lessons or a bunch of
seniors who you could volunteer to teach a small class for.</span></font></p>

pictures, I just bought a new Nikon and the difference in my pictures is
amazing. I also thank god for digital cameras. I often take up to
20 pics of the same thing, changing the lighting, changing positions, changing
backgrounds. Then load all the pics into my pc and pick out the best one or
two.</span></font></p>
