Hi Walt, welcome to the forum. I say go for it. Once you are bit by the woodcarving bug, you'll never go back.

Hey Walt,
Totally agree with bigEd. Carving and creating something out of wood is something I just love to do. Got bit bad and that's good.
Enjoy using your hands to unleash what your mind tells you.
Take care,
Jim

Hi Walt,
I am new to the forum also. I agree with the others, carving is like eating peanuts. Once you start it is hard to stop with just one.

As Carvingbarn said its adictive. So you've been warned. I will say its saved what little sanity I have and its also gave me some friends here that are good folks.

Carving can be addictive, but safety is key. I have a scar halfway down a finger from trying to carve as a kid with a dull chisel, pushing toward myself.
