"I love woodcarving! When I was 9 years old, my scoutmaster, who was of Native American Indian Heritage and also an excellent woodcarver, introduced me to woodcarving. Over the years, I've carved bowls, birds, ducks, signs, caricatures, and most recently (and by popular demand) a wide variety of handy wooden kitchen tools. I started with what I call a "Chef's Tool" which was developed with lots of input from friends and family who love to cook.
