Family . . .

. . . An abstract carving in redwood atop the mantel along side 'Roots 1' with some family photos and one of my paintings in the background.



I suppose this blog should be called "Woodwork, etc.", or some such, because there is precious little posted here about Platonic solids, as yet.  I hope to change that, soon.  The dodecahedron is my favorite Platonic solid, and I have tried several approaches to making them, so there will probably (eventually) be more here about dodecahedrons than any of the other Platonic solids.

Abstract carvings, such as the "Family" featured in this post,  are things I like to do.  Whittling was one of my first hobbies, and I still enjoy it more than any other type of woodwork, and my whittling usually produces an 'abstract' piece of one sort or another.
