This is going to be a very short blog post today since I have received no readers’ comments or questions this time, at which I am kind of surprised. I thought my last post on “Strops & Stropping” would have generated more enthusiasm.

Hey Bob, Rick here I’m new to the chanel. I’ve enjoyed reading what I have missed. Just for the record I am all but cyber illiterate. I was one of the old farts that thought computers would never go anywhere . Please keep the information flowing! Woodcarvers are good people and love to share but a big portion want to be paid for sharing. Thank you for what you do!
