carving even a soft wood like whatever the piece below is really makes me realize just how heavenly it is to carve cottonwood bark. and you'll likely never catch me trying to carve ironwood again with hand tools like i did in mexico... i remember at one point down there waking up with my fingers locked in a clench.

i intended for this to be a full body, but it just didn't happen.





my legs are really sore from yesterdays hike, and there's a bottom bracket issue with the new bike, so not much in the way of exercise today. excuses excuses...
