He who works with his Hands is a LABORER

He who works with his Hands and his Head is a CRAFTSMAN

Editor's Note:

After all that has been said on the Woodc@rver Mailing List on the subject of "Woodcarving: Art or Craft", I am delighted to be able to be able to present St. Francis of Assisi as the final arbiter of the issue.
