      What I really like is how you can feel the difference between types of woods.
      I cut my own pieces and we have alot of variety of wood/plants.
      What I have noticed is that the decorative carvings on an old sawhandle I found, it's not that complicated, it's something I could do now. My main goal is working with wood as an art, but compared to working with pen and paper, I can use this in everyday life.

      Ha! The honest answer is I have absolutely no idea what i'm doing!
      Or rather, I'm learning on my own with old tools that are maybe 80+ year old.
      So I just try to work around my limitations, and the supply of tools in my town sucks, so I only got straight steels to work with which makes making any curved shape a pain, but I prefer to improvise with whatever I got.
      The one thing I have to learn is the sticky stuff, like varnish ? My English seems to have given up on me here, but I hope you'll be able to decipher my text, haha.
