Carving Time While on Vacation

This summer I spent a month at my favorite spot on the planet. I go to this farmhouse in West Virginia every summer but have never spent this long here before.

One of the things I do is to focus on whatever art I'm interested in at the moment.  Carving was a part of that.  This is a little spoon I carved for the lady who owns this farm.

A nice drink of Peppermint tea a
nd a cool mountain breeze make carving here so pleasant.

A little further along.

Little spoon.  For some reason,
when I offer up a choice of spoons,
people always choose the little ones. 

Here's what I started with.  Sycamore from home.
