| | New Guy from Hamilton Ontario I'm just starting out, my dad Tucker1931 (Cliff) gave me tools for Xmas and I'm in the middle of my first wood spirit. I sure enjoy all the great carvings you fellas are showing and hope to be able to post my first one in a few days (after my hand heals a bit) (smile) I cut 'er pretty good already.

Woodspirits are my main staple - they are good place to get started. Hope you find the forum helpful.

| | Re: New Guy from Hamilton Ontario Hi Len, welcome and looking forward to seeing your first carving. Carving wood is a wonderful hobby, but it does come with hazards.
