It all started with a craft show. A lady was selling sculptures that were made by school children in Kenya as a way to learn and earn some money. I was amazed that children were able to make such beautiful things! I bought one and decided to try to make one myself only instead of the soapstone they use I would use oak. I don't know what tools they used but you can see what I used.
