I purchased this tool while in Phoenix,AZ at Hobby Lobby, and find it VERY useful:
Dritz Quilting Measuring Gauge 14 in 1.
There are 14 different measurements in this double-sided aluminum tool.
Anytime you need to check a small measurement while carving,
this tiny gauge will be handy. Measurements range from 1/8 of an inch
to 2 inches. It can be found in most sewing or quilting stores.
We are a club dedicated to furthering the art of wood carving. To this end we meet monthly to enjoy the fellowship of like minded artists and craftsmen and to learn from each other how to improve our woodcarving skills. We welcome wood carvers of all skill levels. Even if you have never put a knife to wood, just bring the desire to learn. Est. 1974

Tree Trimming...(Thank you Ivan S. for this article)
So I was just sitting here wondering, should I have another
cup of coffee or start trimming that tree that needs work.
***** What
A Man Did With This Tree Trunk Will Blow Your Mind
*****
One
tree ..... four years of work and an indescribable amount of
talent:
that’s
what it took to create this incredible masterpiece.
A
famous Chinese wood carver chopped down a single tree and
tirelessly
worked on it for over four years to make this piece.
Your
jaw will hit the floor when you see what he created.
It
all started out with a simple tree trunk…
Then Zheng
Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four
years creating
this masterpiece.
The carving is based on the famous Chinese
painting
“Along
the River During the Qingming Festival.”
The
original artwork was created over 1,000 years
ago.
The piece won
the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving
and
measures
over 40ft (specifically, it is 12.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters
tall
at it highest
point, and is also 2.401 meters
wide).
The intricate
carvings of daily life in ancient China are so detailed and
perfect,
they could
drop your jaw.
It’s no
surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much
attention.
It’s amazing,
but not just because it’s so big, but also because it’s so
incredibly detailed.
That
was 8,760 hours well spent.
