hey, this isn't food...but it's soul food for me. This is my first shorebird carving. My Dad was a carver so I felt compelled to try my hand at carrying on the Stetzko folk carving tradition in his honor. It's a bit bumbly and mis-shapen but I know my Dad would encourage me to keep carving. During an interview about his work, he was asked, "how long did it take you to carve that piece?" His answer was "all my life." I guess I'll keep trying.
