Well, it took a few days to figure out how to work with this thumb but I'm about 80%. I've carved 7 tikis this week and its Friday, so that's not too bad. Here's one of them...

Swelling has gone down but there are tendons that need to repair themselves. The thumb is going to stay in this brace for a few weeks.

Its amazing how much we use thumbs for, you don't realize it until you can't use it. But I figured a way to grasp the mallet in my fingers and my palm.

Pressing on... I've got a show at the end of the month!
