first carvings in several years

This is my little boat and person fishing, he had to catch a fish so I whittled it out, that was as small as I could make it with the details. Next time I will make it smaller and maybe paint on the details, or I could make the boat and person bigger. Anyway this is my first of each of these. As most of you know I dont like doing the same thing over and over so keep watch for more first, a bear should be next.

little better, little different

I'm doing better, got more movement. Pt person says to work on keeping my shoulder muscles loose, right, so I gotta retrain the lower trapz. Not easy.
I got really upset at work and I couldn't take it any more, I had to release. I dont want to try turning yet, it requires me tightening the neck muscles too much, so I got a small piece of basswood and my knife and started whittling. I made a canoe that night. boy did I feel better. I found out if I sit in a chair and pay attention to my psoture and the muscle's I'm using I am actually strenthening the correct muscles. I'm gonna try and upload some photos now.
