Hi, My name is David. I’m 36 years old. Over the last several months I’ve developed a major interest in wood carving. I was working on things like making characters etc, but found that to be quite frustrating and quite dangerous. I stabbed myself in the hand with a 7/8″ gouge and had to get 3 stitches. Then I found this site. I have fallen in love with chip carving. I’m quite honestly not very good at the moment, but I can see myself improving little by little. I absolutely love chip carving, and I want to thank you, Marty, for your wonderful tutorials, classes and patterns. I love the ezboard to practice on. I have already bought quite a bit, and I need to buy more when I get paid again on the first!:)
