I am leaving for a weekend carving rendezvous in Arlington, Washington.
I'll talk to y'all when I get back Monday.

OUCH! Knifing eh?

Made it back in one piece.
Had a good time carving and teaching.

Hi Ho, here is your story; I was setting up my tables and stocking my racks to sell. I had begun to put out basswood turnings when a two-year-old came up (with her Great-Grandmother) and decided to help me. She picked up one turning at a time and handed it to me to put into the rack. This went on for about five minutes with me thanking her for each turning.

When the seminar was coming to a close, I saw her sitting with her family. So I quickly carved a five inch dog standing on his hind legs wearing a Santa Claus hat. I walked over and gave it to the little girl, when her mother asked why I was giving it to her, I said it was for helping me. Her Great-Grandmother was the only one who knew what I was talking about.

Great Grandma's, great Grand daughters, and Rick are like that.

Delightful story, Rick - I can see it all happening :-)

Glad you're back.

Rick, That is what it is alll about. Outstanding sir!
My GDaughter has recieve a humming bird pin from her Gmother, Just because she love her. GDaughter says it is the prettifull thing she ever saw. Well next to the puppy carving I carved for her a couple on months ago. HEHEHEHe, Would trade that little girl off fo 20 worlds.

Thanks for shareinh Rick, I still believe that to be OUTSTANDING.

Ken, I agree with you on grandaughters, now Grandsons, I might consider a swap.
Two of my Grandsons have turned over every rock, brick and board in my yard.
