I made a wonderous discovery, today. Among my grandfather's scalpels and forcips and other former medical gear that he was using for carving tools, I found four matches that he'd carved. Two were two-mast sailing ships. Another was a figure hanging onto the matchstick. The fourth was an intricately carved chain! I'm delighted.
