nice corkey!

my grandpa taught me to whittle... i loved sitting under the tree with him... he always made me push away from my hands... and when he wasnt looking i would always revert to the way he whittled... pulling the knife toward me...
i love to carve... or just whittle...
i tend to make toothpicks... out of huge pcs of wood... sometimes i will make this little graduated tower design...

you mentioned arthritis... not my affliction but i do have a problem with my right hand... i am teaching myself how to do everything (

) left handed... maybe i will pick up a knife again... see what i can do...

thanks for this thread... it has allowed me to look back at something that i miss... fondly...

keep us posted... i love wood... it calls to me in lots of different ways...
