Hi folks, hope your season has started with a bang, me? I went out the first day, caught nothing but lots of sun, and dropped my phone in a very low river, hey ho, i`ll wait for the rain, I've learned over the years, that where I go, it`s a waste of time until the river has a good flush through and has some colored water in. Until that time i`ll carry on with my other passion. which is wood carving, I thought you might like to see what I've been up to. I got this finished just as the season opened for a customer who fishes the Severn, now sits nicely on his desk in the study. About 4 years ago, I had to finish work due to illness, I picked up my trusty pocket knife and a lump of wood, and started, i`d never done anything like this in my life, but I found I enjoyed it, and with a lot of encouragement from my wife and a few friends, I started making walking sticks with carved heads, of dogs, birds, even an odd trout, salmon, and barbel. I started doing these a couple of months ago. I do commissions if anybody wants one let me know, but i`m limiting this one to ten at the moment, they are carved from Kiln dried lime and i use stained pine for the plinth, plus some of my wife potting gravel shhhhhhh 
. I supply a numbered, dated and signed certificate of authenticity with every one supplied. The whole item is 15" long the barbel is 13" in length and the width of the whole thing is no wider than 6". Hope you like it, at least i see a Barbel most days at the moment. Tight lines fellow fosh foolers.
