Be safe, if you are still traveling. And can't wait to hear/see about your trip when you have time.

Are you serious on losing your YT channel? I have never heard of such. I'd be PO'd about that.
iKC is doing fine. Check into your groups when you have time to say hi.
Were you on a mission trip....medical missions, or evangelistic? Glad you made it back safe.

Anthony
Hey man. Just dropping by to say "Hello." Hope all is well. BTW, I checked your link to your youtube channel only to get a closed account. Thought you might want to know.
Drop by next time you're in town.

You have to remove the seed while you're carving the whole thing. Say, when working a basket you'll carve the handle, when you've broken through the "Pit" you can remove the seed. Then shape the handle. I use scrapers, that are similar to dental picks, for this.
If you've halved a pit, (or it's split when you get it), You can make pins and things out of each half.

Usually, you'll remove it. If you're making a basket or a monkey the seed needs to come out. DO NOT TRY TO EAT IT. Supposidly it contains a form of cyanide.

YEP. Peach season is just around the corner.

Are those cool peach seed whittlings or what? Glad you joined. Sorry I haven't been able to stop by your place until now.

Thought I'd pass along some inspiration.

oh, haha, did you join the group?

Try this link out. Back before I had a computer, I had a hard copy of this...

are you going to start that group then? :)

I usually put a thin coat of clear finish to protect them, though iof you dont, they will develop a patina, from handeling much quicker.
Here's another..

I'm gonna have to start an album soon.

This is the one that I have on my key ring.
