Just A Few Of My Other Interests

[fsa46]

Carving gunstocks and walking sticks when I have the time. Although I also do checkering , the basket weave pattern is my favorite to work on.

Enjoy carving gourds too.

Did I mention that I make some wine....

Definitely better make some soupy to go with the wine.

That picture is of Sopressata, or as most call it.....Soupy. I usually make at least 50 pounds a year in the Winter and we really like it.

I give 90% of the wine I make to family and friends. I like making my own wine because I/we do not care for dry wine and I can make it to our liking doing it this way. Also, although I do make grape wine, my favorites are fruit wine, with blackberry wine topping the list. :happydance01:

Most of the wine I make is either from Welche's concentrates or fruit jam....people have no idea how good it is until they try it, and don't believe it after they do.

However, the concentrates or jams used, MUST NOT have any sorbates in them or they will kill the yeast and fermentation will not take place..

The best blackberry wine I make is from Walmart brand blackberry jam.
