note to self, tomorrow, cash your check, pick up about 4 bars of ivory soap to practice carving on, and pick up your prescription, make appt with neurologist.

also, find a local source for a whetstone to sharpen my jackknife, and maybe a small block or two of cherry wood, and a few testers of balsa.

Things I want to carve: (if I get the knack going again)

• An Elephant for my beloved. (to start... maybe a few things, if I get the knack, this is the source of my urge to carve... Turtle, Black Cat and Bear too?)


• A wooden spoon for me, just to have a tool I made myself...


• A Yeti (basswood? pine?)


• A Bear (Baswood?)


• A Newt-kitty (pine?)


• A Self-Portrait ( pine?)


• Toys? It'd be wonderful to give hand-made stuff next Christmas.

An Elephant is a good one to start with, because it's a boxy shape, and a good test with the ears and trunk. (no tusks).

You could always carve a small wooded spoon from a bigger wooden spoon. :)
