Hobbies - Fishing & Wood Carving
Fishing and being in the outdoors makes me very happy. I can relax and take my time concentrating on catching fish and nothing else.
I also love wood carving. I like carving the old fashioned way, using a chisel and a hammer. I like to create animals, yard displays and other odds and ends. I'm currently carving a 4 ft. tall black bear for my backyard.
