| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! I'm thinking of a story that a tour guide related about how sacrificial mayans were forced to wear an ornament suspended between their eyes which caused them to go cross eyed..... I'll wager carving these little guys would serve that purpose well. Those are some cute little ornaments.

| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! I have a wood bin where I toss my scraps in and promise myself I'll take the stuff out to burn it, but but but
Anyway I like the small stuff, too. How about a shot of the knife that you used? Big as a Bowie??? |

| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! The knife used on the small stuff is the OAR CARVER. The blade comes to a nice point, and maintains its edge very well. That is after Rick at Little Shavers did his reshapeing magic. Another nice thing about carving small, is that while carving at the doctors office just let the chips fall into you shirt pocket. Thanks for looking.

| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! Good gosh, that knife does look like a Bowie in comparison.
BTW, are your eyes really that good, or do you need magnification? |

| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! By carving that small, who's going to nitice the chips anyway. Probably look like carpet lint. |

| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! Ha! I'll bet you got pockets full of dust! Does your dryer screen look like mine? Ha! These are so great! I am enamored with them! I'll bet it is neat to get a handfull of them all together to look at! How many can you hold in the cup of your hand?

| | Re: Waste Not - Want Not! Tom, just great! Yes, it makes me think about all the chunks of wood wasted! Excellent job and I am sure you make a lot of people happy when you give them away. Fred | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
