BWilson,
First, a big Welcome to FAOL from Tennessee! You are going to like it here. Lots of good people and great information. Any questions, just ask...
Let's see...main hobby is woodcarving..carve out a fly tying bench, set up the fly tying vise and start tying up some bluegill and bass poppers and then take your daugther out and have some quality time together...yep, that's the way I see it...;)
Welcome aboard...

Greetings, Bart ....
.... and welcome from Eastern Idaho / Western Montana.
A fellow I know here in the Idaho Falls area carves, and then sands and paints balsa wood bodies, and adds the trimmings in the way of hackles and legs for some really interesting and effective warmwater and trout flies.
If your daughter is also into arts and crafts, she might enjoy making those kinds of flies with you.

Hi Bart. Welcome to FAOL from sunny So Cal. There's a fella in my FF club who does outstanding wood carving. He does mostly trout. We are having a fund raiser and he has donated some of his carvings for the raffle. I hope to win one. If you have a camera post some photos of your work. We'd like to see it.
