Wood Carving

I remember we has some wood carving knives when I was small, and I stabbed myself with it.  That shows how much adult supervisor we had growing up.

So I brought a stick to Mesmac and carved.  Pat had a go, but he had no patience.  I carved a lot of grooves.  There will be a lot of grooves before I am competent to do any designs.
