⚠️ Alabama & people who enjoy rivers here (vacationing, etc.)! Please read & send email by March 26th, or plan to attend the public hearing that day if you are local. You do not need to be Alabama resident to speak up, but it is best if you enjoy our biodiversity, vacation or hike here, etc.
There is a Tyson chicken factory in Blountsville that is attempting to get a water pollution permit (yes, it's a thing) for discharge from the factory slaughterhouse into the (locally famous) Locust Fork River. It is upstream of several popular public summer river recreational spots. The Locust Fork River feeds into the Warrior River and is a very important fresh water source for many. It is popular for all sorts of outdoor water recreation and of course has high biodiversity.
What you can do: There is a public hearing, but you don't have to attend if you are not a local! All you have to do is compose an email about why you are against polluting this river and send it to Daphne Y. Lutz, Chief, at water-permits@adem.alabama.gov (mastodon is separating out the water- part, keep it in!) Written comments must reference NPDES Permit Number AL0001449.
This site has info for the public hearing, as well as a document for more information: https://adem.alabama.gov/events-meetings/tyson-farms-blountsville-processing-plant
You can find a lot of info about these rivers via internet search.
Federally & State listed species are noted here: https://www.blackwarriorriver.org/releases/Locust_Fork_rare_species.pdf
DEADLINE: March 26th

A few weeks back @jillswan10 and I ran a carving day together, I started this spoon from a bent piece of Cherry.
It's got alternating facets and curves, that really blend well for the eye, much more pleasing in person than the photos, and sometimes life if just like that.

This glorious piece of Cherry makes me smile so very much, the last of three spoons from this one billet I had, all the rest of the log looks like Cherry I'm used to.
I wonder what's caused this billet to be so different, does anyone know?

In preparation of an upcoming Kolrosing session @spoonhoolie I made a demo piece using the tip of a @morakniv carving knife to show it can be done without a dedicated kolrosing blade.

Being as Birch (Betula pendula) is so soft, it can be particularly tough to get clean facets on.
So I challenged myself to get 16 flat facets, around the length of the handle following into the back of the Spoon, incorporating both concave and convex lines.
I had to highlight them by adding some ground cinnamon to highlight the grain and ridges, before burnishing.

Lovely evening, carving with Pathcarvers.
Really nice to see experimentation with shapes, and decoration.
