I guess i start here . I'm a carver up in southern Maine Dad gaveme a jack knife aropund 4 years old. and i fell in love with knicking my fingers.and making boats to float in the pond. then carved till i was about 15 . Now 35 years later I just pick up a chain saw one day and WHAM ! NOW I ARE ONE. GOT cut last fall. so while i was healing I went back to Hand carving. and now I"m making history.

Thanks I've been able to see wood spirits since my first knife at age 5, My dad said that was a good sign of being a carver, According to his back woods Massechusetts raisn' SO this guy wasn't in the woods . I had been out there for about 1 hour lookin' that day. My back can't take much walkin' SO i head down to the gangs garage and see this one starin' at me from the side of the road.
It's so much fun to SPOT 'em , then carve 'em out for the world to see. folks up here love him too.
Too many folks carve wood spirits but don't really know the first thing about SEEin' e'm
