I took time to clean up my shop and sharpen a couple of chisels tonight, Stuff that I have been putting off for a couple days while I had those orders going out. Tonight at the bookstore, I was paging through the new Carving Magazine and found a couple of things that I like. Normally, I find it very "beginner friendly" and not really for the serious carver, However, there was a wonderful article on carving the mouth of human face, ( and hands!) Something I have recently been struggling with. Granted, it is about power carving, but the pictures and steps I think will help me with the wood nymph. And since this is a short post. Here is the closing theme to Ah! My Goddess. If you know who the Andrew Sisters were, you will find this theme very familiar. ( They were a WW II group of Swing Singers) Enjoy! I have been humming and whistling the theme all week!
Born in Grand Rapids Michigan, Went ot MLS in Saginaw, College at DLMC in New ulm Minnesota. Graduated with a BS in Education. Then joined the Army and spent three additional years At Ft Wainwright AK (Think Fairbanks)I previously spent two summers in AK working at a lodge, basically joined the army so I could go back. After getting married I moved back to Michigan and got yet another degree at MSU in Fisheries, but after my fishfarm was closed I started carving. I have been carving ever since. My wife and I now live in Grandhaven and work for ourselves carving seats and sewing pillows and purses. Our goal is to climb the social ladder and eventually become multi-millionairs. Don't laugh! We live in the United States of America! Dream small, stay small. Dream big, gain the world!
