You know you are in Iowa when you consider it an "event" when they take a large tree down in your yard.
( That is a fancy way of saying that there is usually nothing going on here!) It is still fascinating whenever a crew of five guys tackle a job like this with all those
cool toys! It took them all day yesterday to bring that monster down, with only a little damage to a fence and the roof of the building.
Impressive when you consider the placement of the tree. And it's size! Now I know you are looking at that HUGE trunk and thinking,"
What is the Midnightcarver going to carve out of that?" Sadly, I waved goodbye as they carted it off. I realized that I was not really in that position anymore where I could just dust off the tools and start working on any
stray log that drops in my area. Not that I have given up carving, just put it on hold for the moment.
Besides I have been busy with
Christmas Stockings as of late, and they
have proven to be more profitable than the carvings ever where. SO who knows? I may dust off the chisels some day in the future when I have nothing going on and an opportunity presents itself. Don't think of the Midnightcarver as retired, just taking a leave of absents for the moment.
