Got my first battle wound today!

I new it as just a matter of time before I slipped up and made a mistake that would cost me some skin. I've been carving everyday for about three years now and use saws and PPE all of the time. But today I let my guard down and when i stepped back out to test a new chain without my chaps on I made a stupid mistake and this was the result.................................

A dozen staples later and I was back at work carving signs! It didn't even bleed. Some called it luck, I say it was a blessing, and just thank God that it didn't get into some tendons and more of the muscle. Whew!
