Retirement Fund

Post by carvin don »

Decided to try out my new carving knives. I started this fellow using a pattern from Harold Enlow's book "How to Carve Folk Figures and a Cigar Store Indian." It is titled, "Retirement Fund." With all this knife buying I seem to do lately, I best be careful or I will end up like this poor soul...(I'll try to finish him up this week.)

Don, if you keep making carvings as good as that, you won't have to worry about a retirement fund! But I do know the feeling. I have left unvested retirement accounts all over the US of A.

Hey Don,
Nice looking carving there, you sure know how to make a knife work and do just what you want it too. Great job as usual. Keep it up.
