I guess it must have been the old wolf head tie slide that I still have from when I was a cub scout that got me thinking about wood and carving. It’s odd that that little wolf head is one of my favorite keepsakes that my Dad made for me.
So when I was signing up for classes to take at the Boy Scout leader training event last Saturday, wood carving was one I was very excited to be attending. The class turned out to be a blast! I had so much fun and didn’t want to leave when the class was over.
The more I thought about how much fun it was, the more I wanted to make a tie slide for Maverick! So, knowing that my Dad would be giving me money for my Birthday, I bought the carving knife below from Cape Forge.
These knives are sharp, so sharp that you use a leather strop and compound to keep it razor sharp. I can’t wait to get started on some projects, with a new Nephew just born and Christmas coming there should be plenty of opportunities to make things, not to mention making a tie slide for Mav!
