I just joined the group two days ago and I have done nothing but just drool over all the emailings and websites that everyone has. I have been carving for 10 years but am still a novice carver of which I can not complain. I am happy to be able to carve as a hobby, I was a carpenter till a car accident disabled me so had to do something with myself and always wanted to carve so I have a few carvings I have done. I have some reliefs, very few in the rounds that is hard for me to do, bird carving I happen to be lucky to live a mile away from a bird carver who teaches at his house so I do have some nice birds and do enjoy them, I have done chip carving and like that when waiting at doc's offices and the such, and right now have started getting into some golf ball carving which has turned into a lot of fun.</P>

<P>I am not that computer literate either but am going to try to join in once in awhile so you may see me lurking around in the corner but I will have a smile on my face.</P>

I convinced her to let me keep it, and I would carve her one on a stack of books. When I completed it later and forgot about the books I recovered by carving the stones he was on into a book and attaching it to a second piece carved into more books. Sometimes there’s nothing like an “Oooops” to make you creative <G>. A couple of the titles were “Draco, the Legend” and “Fire Breathing 101”</SPAN></FONT></P>
