One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.

This appeared while cutting up some firewood on the homestead.

Heard. I consider the Reddit blackout a mix of labor unionism and anti-corporate overlord behavior, and I absolutely love to be a part of it! Change takes effort, time, and inconvenience. My seven year old Reddit account with 26k karma has been deleted, along with a portion of my small business income that came from posting to Reddit. There is only one right or power that is absolutely unalienable: the right to say "no" and take the consequences. Exercise it.

At the center of this carving sits Lake Cumberland Marina, the largest marina on the largest man-made lake in the United States. I prefer to use locally available hardwoods, in this case, maple and thermal poplar with resin added to represent the water. No paints, stains or dyes were used on the wood.

The folks there were simply the best. But now we're here! What brings me joy today? The hummingbirds outside my window drinking the nectar I've provided.

Hope my work fits in around here. Wouldn't be possible for me to create this carving of Kasei Valles, an outflow channel containing a water-swept crater on Mars, without scientists. I consider it art, and it is made possible only by the myriad of engineers, scientists, astronomers who create the 3D models using spaceflight and the designers and engineers who make CNC possible. My largest carvings contain over one million gcode coordinates, guess I need to thank all the computer engineers as well.

This model is made from resin-filled cherry wood and the frames are thermal poplar, heated in a vacuum to produce the rich black tones.

I carve from a solar-powered, off-grid workshop in rural Kentucky, USA. Happy to make custom models for folks of anywhere in the solar system we can get models for! Actively seeking commissions @ woodgrainterrain.com.

Actively seeking commissions @ woodgrainterrain.com. Have you a connection a favorite part of this planet? I can make you a custom one-of-a-kind carving of your location. I'm a former wilderness guide with a masters degree in environmental education and I carve using a solar-powered workshop in rural Kentucky, USA. Meeting new people and making new connections are the best part of my work.

Yep. Which is why I've deleted my 7-year account with 26k karma.
