Shoal Creek Demonstration

I had a great time carving at Shoal Creek Living History Museum yesterday. It is a small 1800's town consisting of authentic historic buildings and log cabins relocated from surrounding counties. The first Saturday of each month in the summer re-enactors bring the town to life. They had a carpenter's shop that was vacant, and I was lucky enough to get to use it to demonstrate and sell my carvings. I will be there the remaining events this summer. I sold a carving to a lady from Russia. She bought it for a friend, back home, that is a knife maker.. Pretty cool, one of my carvings will be in Russia.
