I went to a local hobby show. I was told I should enter some of my work in the contest but I thought naw, i`d embarrass myself. In the scroll work area, with exception of a couple fret work jobs, everything I`ve done woulda rocked that place.
Maybe next year. I didnt go to brag my own work or anything, I was interested in seeing the talent in the area, and there is that indeed, the carvings on display.... mind boggling.... Absolutely amazing!
One thing I am gonna bitch about here is how the show seemed to be ran. I was turned off by approaching a booth because something caught my eye then have a salesperson try and ram shit down my throat. There were some salespeople that seemed to actually like wood work and dealing with all these people. Thats what I thought I was gonna see there, a bunch of small business and hobbyist, along with some of the big boys, saw COMMERCIAL everywhere and the people who are ACTUALLY working with the wood and willing to talk to people about it, are buried WAYYYYYYYY in the back, it almost looked off limits to go back there.... but I`ll wait to see what the revues are like on it, maybe I was havin a shitty day.. who knows.
Anyway, welcome to the new Blog site. This is in conjunction with all the other stuff I`m doing and so various things may appear here, things may not....
this site is also a way for people to say something to me or whatever instead of the "old fashioned" email. Has it come to that yet? Text messaging and blogging beating email yet?
Anyway, till another time, I gotta go learn how to upload pictures here.
