Mark Brown - Xyloglypher in Training

As a completely analog escape from the day job in Software Development, I decided to take up whittling.

I have dabbled in many art forms (sketching, painting, calligraphy, sculpting, photography …) my entire life. I began whittling in earnest in May of the COVID-19 pandemic year 2020, as a way to wile away a few hours each weekend at our seasonal lake side camp site.

I have since retired from the Software Industry and am now free to focus my time on travel, hobbies and those many household projects that have been languishing due to lack of free time.
