Default You Might Be A Wood Carver If....

I have always enjoyed laughing and making others laugh. While doing wood carving, I sometimes find myself thinking about funny anecdotes. Here are some “You Might Be A Wood Carver If…” sayings that I have come up with.


If you find yourself buying so many tools that you just can’t “strop”, you might be a wood carver.


If you only wear one glove and you aren’t the King of Pop, you might be a wood carver.


If the following statement makes sense, “I carve so much I have to strop every 15 minutes”, you might be a wood carver.


If you know the difference between a gouge and a veiner, you might be a wood carver.


If you leave a trail of wood chips everywhere you go, you might be a wood carver.


If the neighbors kids get their hamster bedding from you, you might be a wood carver.


If you primary vacuum cleaner is a shopvac, you might be a wood carver.


If the words “chip” and “slice” immediately make you think of something other than golf, you might be a wood carver.


If you friends invite you over for a party and tell you to bring your favorite chips, and you bring basswood chips, you might be a wood carver.


If your date has ever asked you if you had protection and you took out your wood carving glove, you might be a wood carver.


If you get more enjoyment from a copy of Woodcarving Illustrated, than from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, you might be a wood carver.


Let me know what you think of these sayings. I ran them past a couple co-workers and my wife and they found these to be the best out of the ones that I wrote. If you find them funny, share them with your friends and family, but tell them where you got them.

Those are great! Thanks for the chuckles!

If your idea of a good Friday night movie is a Gene Messer YouTube video, you might be a woodcarver.

Those are good ten. I was thinking if you have tried to convince your wife the fireplace doesn't work anymore you might be a wood carver.
