Reasons I carve:

My wahine and I spend time together carving instead of watching TV.

I get to meet other carvers to share ideas, and learn from.

I love sweeping up piles and piles of wood chips.

I love staggering into the garage at night and getting a splinter stuck in my foot. I made that splinter and by golly, it if its gonna bite me, thats ok.

#1 reason: I find it very gratifying to make something from nothing and love watching and partaking in the process. When its all done, I smile knowing I made it.
