Its been awhile. My life is hectic but happy and full. 1 kid in elementary school and 1 in high school brings MANY germs home. Ive been sick more than Id like to be. Im stuck in a lazy rut Im trying to pull myself out of. Ive done a few carvings. Ill find some pictures. But, Im going to give it hell again and get back to my favorite spot!! Ill get some fresh new videos out for you guys soon!

Im having second thoughts about the 3rd board in The MaD Butcher series..... Usually I lay out a board and cannot wait to carve it. This one Im dragging my feet on..... WHY???????

On my way to pick up a jointer after I pick my son up from school. It will make glue ups so much easier and really step up my production. I have an order I have to work on for a lions and Michigan board!!!

Its been some time since Ive ventured in my wood room. Fear gets the best of me. Mainly all my work I have given away or made for gifts for family, friends and teachers. Ive been told numerous times I need to start selling. Ive always wanted to and in the very beginning that was my intention. I guess I have an overwhelming fear of failure. Recently I showed a peice to a friend of mine who threatened me with bodily harm (lol) if I didn't start selling so I took her advice and am now in the process of putting my fear on the back burner. I am creating some very awesome cutting boards that really showcase my work. My boards are more than cutting boards to me. They are little peices of myself. I hope you find humor in them and can appreciate them as much as I do. No 2 boards are alike and some will be marked down due to tiny flaws that wont matter to the buyer but matter to me. In fact, the flaws are so little, you wood not notice them if I did not point it out. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. My boards will soon be for sale on Etsy. I will post a link as soon as they become available.
