Carving Thursday

During carving class yesterday, we learned that one of our carvers had to have surgery on the wrist that he cut while carving the week before. Ed was holding a chunk of wood in one hand and using a gouge with the other lost control and jabbed himself in the wrist. Keith took him to the emergency room because it was bleeding pretty bad. Evidently he damaged a nerve and will not be carving for at least six months. He is not a rookie and should have known better, but we all do stupid things while carving.  Hope he heals up quickly.

The sun is shining today! What a glorious sight. Maybe it will chase away the mid-winter blues that many are suffering.
