Talking You Might be a Woodcarver

While searching the net for info i ran across an artical called "If....you might be a woodcarver" and i had to post the same here to find your answers.

"If you try pressing your shavings together to make a new peice of wood to carve because you've run out, you might be a woodcarver."

"If you can't remember where you live but can remember to location and address to every woodcraft store in a 5 state area, you might be a woodcarver"

These are a couple i thought of, now it's your turn. Have fun with this thread.

You bought yourself some new carving tools for your wife's birthday!

you know the wood supplier's telephone number but you don't know your wife's cell phone number!

When you meet people, they notice wood chips on your shirt!

You leave wood chips everywhere you go, especially on the wifes carpet

You leave a cloud of fine sawdust in the air when you walk by

you have more than 3 knives in your pocket at any time

you have a shelf (or room) full of pretty colored firewood!

Default Re: You Might be a Woodcarver

If the wife complains about the woodchips on her side of the bed.
When people continually ask what happened to your hand.
When your wife complains that you spend too much time on your silly message board.
When you owe more to your tool supplier than to the IRS.

You take your wife to the Jewelery store and show her the diamond you was going to buy her but spent the money on carving tools.
"Ain't done that one yet, to scared to."

You think beavers are competition.

That someone talks to you and you don't hear them because you are studing how to carve their hair line.

someone shows you a new knife and you ask if they want it sharpened.

you go to the lumber store to get a fence post and study the grain pattern.

You take the family to the zoo and the first words out of your mouth are ..."Nice Trees'

You take a walk in a park and you describe the tress in three classes ....Good to carve .....Hard to carve ...firewood

Default Re: You Might be a Woodcarver

You might be a woodcarver when -
  • - you hear of a conspiracy of beavers to assasinate you
    - you are a one-man anti-softwood export lobby
    - you drive past a pulp mill and envy them their chip-piles
    - you're caught sneaking into a sawmill
    - you speak of your favourite chips, you are NOT talking about potatoes
