Moved here about four years ago and absolutely love it. There was some

I grew up in and around Washington, DC, When I grew smart, I got out
g. I now live in Aiken, South Carolina, just across the river from
Augusta, Georgia.

My mother's folks are from the Knoxville area, and I spent a little
time in Chattanooga and wouldn't mind moving back to TN.

Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers that I mentioned is located about 20
minutes south of Gatlinburg. I know you could be several hours away,
but if you get a chance, stop in. The folks are super friendly and
they have some really neat toys as well as a selection of carving
stock. I really didn't look to see what they had, but picked up some
basswood, butternut and buckeye. I haven't had the chance to try the
buckeye, but I loved the butternut.
