The Boys Learn Wood
Carving
The boys left us to our weaving and
joined Joe who showed them how to make a carver
bowl.
Joe taught them how to use the ‘tool’, kept sharp on a grinder.
Bear set to work making
a club.
Another carver
bowl with its traditional four legs is skilfully crafted. The men send
finished items on the freighter to Suva to sell via family members, they also
send over prepared carvings to be finished in Suva.
The boys had as many small visitors as we did. The morning flew by on a haze of ‘cigarette’ smoke.
A large
shell takes shape. Sandpaper is a rarity so a spoke shaver comes in
handy.
Today a club from
Bear – tomorrow a bed post ???? It’s a
drumstick. Oh OK I can see Charlie belting his high hat with
that......
Bear was very taken with this clam shell so he bought it.
Bear bought me this turtle, handsome with or without his
lid and I just love his white
paws.
ALL IN ALL IMPRESSIVE
RESULTS
GREAT FUN AND TEN FINGERS
