Last Saturday's wood carving class at tortoise




teacher Yo
he said, carve it with your heart not with your hands!!



yo' nice wood objects.











The tool I used and the wood I picked to carve. It's Manzanita. It's very hard to carve. I wish I had more knowledge about wood before I went to the class.





The final product. It's a spoon for lose tea leaves. (actually I felt that I need to work on this more!!)







We really enjoyed the class. CL and I decided to keep doing wood carving as a habit. We are going to look for the tools and the material to carve.

It was a best weekend!!
