What's Your Hobby

[Godscreated]

Road trips. Bicycle riding around towns I don’t know. Writing. Craft beer hunting. Organizing poetry events in the community. I do all these things frequently enough and I’m satisfied. I’m currently researching cruiser bikes, because I want to get my own, load it to the back of my car, and stop having to use rentals every other weekend when I go out of town. This weekend is the first weekend in a very long time that I don’t have a road trip planned. That might change by Friday. The road is my therapy. I wouldn’t mind taking up photography, but I’d need to invest in a decent camera. Godscreated also sparked my curiosity with carving, but I haven’t done anything to actually start. I’m always too busy heading out the house.

Give yourself some time by reading up on different kinds of carving, carving might not be for you and usually if one will read about it one can determine to a certain degree whether they would like it or not. On bikes I have a Surly and love it, they are pricey but well worth the price. I bought mine new so the bike shop could fit a bike to me and it has been most comfortable to ride even at distances. Good luck with your bike search.

When i have time . And i imagine if i retire . 

I wood carve it's very relaxing . My house is loaded with  stuff i have done .

I’ve been fascinated by the art of wood carving for many years. I bought a curved spoon knife and tried my luck at carving a spoon. It didn’t turn out too great, lol. I love to watch YouTube vids on spring-pole lathes, axe carving and whittling.

 Carving spoons isn't as easy as it might look and I would suggest getting a video on carving spoons, you can learn the safe way to carve them and how to do it with a lot less effort, most spoon carving is done with green or semi-green wood (not dried out).
