The carving experience exceeded our expectations of how much fun and how much work it would be. I would definitely recommend it for every dragon boat team to try. The first time you do anything is always a challenge. We have lots of pictures and stories to share over beers and nachos now.

Time is running out for finishing up our carving. Yesterday, we asked our instructor Eric Neighbor how long he thought it took people to carve dragon boat heads in China. "Oh- weeks, probably." "What! And we are doing this in five 5-hour days!"

Carving dragon boat heads and tails on Wednesday night.

All the dragons are really starting to take shape after 3 days of carving. We have all pretty well resigned ourselves that the carvings will not be finished on Friday night. Perhaps 10 days of carving is more realistic than the 5 we have available.

Imagine the sweet aroma of freshly cut red cedar. Feel the rich grain of wood beneath your fingertips as you caress the bark and grain. Step on wood chips hewn by your own hands.
