So, who else likes to play with knives and hot pens. Anyone ?
I like to relax by the fire or anyplace else and play with sharp knives, gouges or hot pens. Fell in love with woodburning about 14 yers ago but can't be done easily dry camping so carving fell in line a few years later and on a continual learning curve of all the different styles. I make carved walking sticks and spoons when I want to keep my hands busy but not my mind. There are endless types of carving to entertain me for years! The campsite sign below is my first attempt at deep relief.
Here's a small sample of what I do.
this is our Aussie Koda

In between all that I started to quilt a few years ago making the tops by machine and do the quilting by hand. All I need is time to do it all.
