I assume this category isn't JUST for Christmas holiday chatter. Is anyone carving anything special for valentine's day...and other upcoming holidays? Care to share?

I've kind of got it backwards xxx have done some Easter pins for daughters and grand daughter but just thinking about Valentines day.

why, you want to swap a valentines day carving

I did a pair of small linked hearts just the other day.Really just 2 chain links shaped like hearts but since it's all I've done since christmas I guess it counts as keeping my hand in.

LOL Hi Ho - I've already gotten myself buried in the ornament exchange - I'm having a ball with it, though - if folks on this list don't want to participate much, they sure have responded on the other sites. I think I'll be carving ornaments in my sleep!!

Don, your chain sure does count as keeping your hand in. I'd like to see it - can you post it to our carvers picturetrail site?

Hi Teri.....what other sites, didn't know there were any other woodcarving sites? ???

Sliver,

There are a number of lists/groups at yahoo and topica. They are a good way to see what others are doing and an invaluable source of information. I find them more usueful than magazines since, like here, I can get nearly instant answers and varied oppinions to my questions.

Check them out and I'm sure you will find at least a few to subscribe to.
