Hello from Maine

[rickjake]

Hi friends, I am recently disabled with my second cervical fusion due to a spine injury nine years ago. I currently have lost feeling on my left side and am very week. I also have to were this darn neck brace for three month. I have always wanted to get into turning pens and game calls. I Figure I`ll have at least six to eight months rehab included, so I have plenty of time to read up and ask advice as far as some good quality equipment. You people are doing some amazing work! I am glad I found this forum and any advice such as books and websites would be welcomed for now.

Thanks friends

-Rick
