My dad and Magnus were great carpenters, but that wasn't really my thing. I preferred more traditional arts. Painting was my favorite thing to do when I had the supplies, but I also loved to draw. I didn't have my own art business because I spent a lot of time helping my boys run the Hammer and Tongs (taking orders, talking with customers, delivering finished pieces, etc.), but I did sell some on the side. In addition to the typical furniture, Magnus liked to carve little figures, toys, and decorations sometimes. His favorites were ducks. Sometimes I would paint his ducks and other figures.
