FRIDAY SURPRISE: Turkey carving this ain't!
When I was a
kid, I was fascinated by the idea of carving (or whittlin', as we
called it.) My dad occasionally whittled a whistle, my uncle did a
spoon now and again, but the object that fascinated me the most was
a short wooden chain that my grandfather had hanging on his
wall.
The idea that one could gouge out a series of links, with no breaks, from a single piece of wood seemed incomprehensible to my young mind. It seemed almost like magic!
Today, of course, I understand how its done, but now marvel at the patience necessary to complete such a task. The little chain that captivated me pales, however, in comparison to this:
That item was carved from a single pencil! There's more to see over at The New Shelton Wet/Dry blog. Check it out!
