52 Weeks Of Carving - Repetition

I learn through many ways but I cement knowledge by practice. 

That's why the boxes I sell over on Etsy are the prefect way for me to hone my skills.

52 Weeks Of Carving - quotation

For awhile now I'd had an idea for a bit of written carving I wanted to make for a friend. 

I am not a religious person, but he is, and he once said this phrase to me and it really stuck with me. So I thought I'd carve it out so he could mount it on his wall. 

I gave it him as a surprise and he seemed really pleased with it. It felt nice to give and unexpected gift. 

Carved in Oak all by hand.

52 Weeks Of carving - A bit behind!

 I've slipped out of habit with this bit of the blog lately - I'd like to say though that I'm still carving every week. 

The trouble is I've been carving for some magazine articles (which I'm really excited about) and so I can't really show what I'm up to until they're published. Hopefully I'll have a few more projects I can post on here soon!
