Help I have carver's disease

[Sawyer]

I've only just started getting into carving, but already I seem to have strange symptoms of what can only be described as some form of carver's disease. Everywhere I go and there are trees I can't stop looking at them and eyeing up their various attributes and what possible spoon or kuska could be hiding inside. Cycling home i nearly crashed my bike as I found my eyes wondering to the curvature of the various sycamore and ash branches by the path.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Will it get worse?

There's no cure, but you can alleviate the symptoms. Just make sure you keep your tools sharp!

Guys, PLEASE, this isn't helping. Do you not realise you are feeding this infliction with new thoughts of possibilities. I'm looking for a cure!

 

[ex-member Raikey]

sorry,...it just grows until it destroys you!!

muuwwahh ha ha ha ahah (evil genius style laughter, with echo)

Sounds like I'm screwed. Just going to do as suggested and embrace it. Wish me luck!

You're in the wrong place if you're looking for a cure. If you're looking to feed your addiction...
