Water Gap Get Together

There’s no substitute for getting together and making shavings…even if they’re small?

I was getting all of my stuff ready when the first car arrived. I know Wil’s truck, and Carl had just been here, so I wasn’t sure who was going to get out of it… because I didn’t recognize the vehicle.

Imagine my delight when Jim Matthews stepped out? Can’t remember the last time I saw Jim, but he made the last minute decision to come out. Sadly, he told us of his wife’s passing back in June. If you have a second, feel free to send him a personal note with your condolences?

Wil and Carl arrived a few minutes later. Carl had his son Daniel in tow, and after a few minutes of demonstrating, everyone got a knife and some wood and we just got carving.

We talked a bunch about straight letters and curved letters, caught up a bit, and just carved until about 12:30. It was very low key, but really nice to see some folks again.

Watch the blog for the next topic, as this is the new normal.
