| | New To The Group Hi All,
I'm new to the group and have been carving for several years, mainly woodspirits. I'm finally at an age where I can see retirement from my present career and plan to start in a new direction selling my carvings. I'm located on the east coast in NC.
I've attached a pic of my latest log spirit, Jasper. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with everyone.

| | Re: New To The Group Fine looking woodspirit there Craig. I envy you - sure wish I could spend all my time carving but retirement is a ways yet for me. Keep at it so you can suppliment your retirement benefits when that time comes.

| | Re: New To The Group Thanks for the welcome Irishman and Feb. Actually, retirement is a ways off for me also, sometimes I just think it feels closer. |

| | Re: New To The Group Craig, welcome to the forum and I am jealous of you. I am wanting to retire early and do full time carving but alas I continue to work bringing home a more reliable check!
Again, welcome and I love the wood spirit. Is that hand carved or a chainsaw carving?

| | Re: New To The Group Thanks for the welcome Greg. It's all carved with gouge and mallet due to the size.
I use a chainsaw on larger pieces to rough out, then revert to hand tools.
