Forth Post (carving)

as the title implies, i enjoy carving.
stone specifically.
i discovered soap stone when i was roughly 11 and i was brought to some sort of out door art show.
i came home with a piece of soap stone i had been working on,
and when all i carved into it was spiral ridges, my grandma became upset, saying something like

"why don't you carve something instead of wasting stone?"

i ignored her.


last month, i re-found that piece of stone,polished it up, and carved it into a pipe.

i was able to do that in half an hour,
and being, as i am, full of obssesive compulsive energy, i figured i could do it as a hobby.

i also really enjoy working with stone. one issue with this new interest of mine is the fact that i have no feasable way of obtaining soapstone, but i heard about a place in my area that might carry it. so lets hope for the best.

g'bye!
