    Default G'day mates from a foriegner in the US

    I have been carving for just a little while. I carve just about anything and prefer to make my tools if possible. I carve walking sticks but not like most you see in some stores where just the top 6 or 8" is carved but the complete stick. I also carve Kachina dolls and have been told by a freind of mine who is Navajo and Zuni I carve them like a master. I'm married to my soul mate for 26 years, I have 26 Grandkids and one great grand daughter. I have a great interest in Japanese woodworking tools and making them. I think probably one of the most beautiful things that always makes me happy is a piece or a slab of wood shows the detail of the wood without it being planed or finished freshly cut. YOU KNOW what ever you make out of it is going to be absolutely beautiful.

    Nightrider, welcome aboard.
    Just like Ed said. Talking about woodcarving is nice, showing something much nicer. Selfmade tools is something I love to see, as I made them as much as possible for myself.
    Have fun.

    You are very welcome, Nightrider, and I, too, hope you will post pics.

    Even more for me, though, my congratulations are to you for your happy marriage, 26 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Very well done, mate!
