Brookside Trout Carver

Today I took a short walk (26 steps) to my taxidermy and fish carving shop at about 9 am after I yawned and stretched from a good nights' sleep. The shop was cozy warm with the wood stove waiting for a few more logs to continue the 70 or so degree temp. While the March wind howled up a storm. I debated as to what might interest me to work on for the day. There was no shortage of what to do. I decided to carve another, of the many species of trout now in various stages of process on my shop bench.  I decided on a Brooky (my favorite) fish.  Tracing a template on to a piece of tupelo wood, cutting out the model and it was ready for the exciting part of the actual carving.  And would you believe the phone rang and I got into a prolonged conversation and had to abandon my plans for the day.  But I'll be back another day to finish where I left off. In the meantime keep your eye on my blog!
