So sorry to hear of your moms problems, do hope they are resolved as good as possible.
Always a joy to watch the way your hands move to smoothly through different cuts. While an a enthusiast of
the fine furniture of the 1800’s, I struggle with the little carving I have done, fan’s on a high boy. Age has crept up on me and now just enjoy watching and reading. Thanks for teaching others your secrets. May you have many days of pleasure and good health,. I am now 87 doing some wood work now for about 30 years
