Best of luck - Dad! Carving is something that you can put done and pickup anytime. When my children were young it was most enjoyable after they were down for the night. Now that my kids are grown I can carve any time I want.- well almost - got to go the wife is callin' me.

Welcome back and thank you from the USA!
