365-14 here fishy

14 wooden fish

My great uncle carved this (and others like it) after he lost his arm in an industrial accident. He was a very gifted woodworker - all the more since he did it single-handedly - quite literally. It's one of my favorite things around here.

That's a totally cool fish. Is that burned or carved? (Or something else?)

My husband, an avid offshore fisherman, would love that carving. Amazing that your uncle did it with only one had. Incredible!

That's really good! My husband is just getting in to woodwork - I'll show him this, it'll be inspirational!
