In a by-gone time the phrase "take to the wood shed" meant someone was in trouble, almost always a family member, and needed to be reconded with. However, my own "Wood Shed" is a place where imagination and creativity thrive. Words By The Wood Carver's Hands: Stories From The Bright Side Of The Woodshed is a mix of humor and reflection about family, friends, pets, life transitions and a memorial honoring our veterans. Illustrations of wood carvings by the author that are used to introduce and highlight the stories. Some carvings inspired a story. At other times a story inspired a particular carving. I invite you to step inside my "Wood Shed" and take a look around. You may just find something that looks and sounds pleasantly familiar. I hope so.
