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

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.
