Biographie de Paul Coover
ABOUT THE AUTHOR I am Paul A. Coover living in West Fork Arkansas. My history includes frame carpentry and building. Also aerial construction on hard line cable and fiber optics. I have installed, sold, audited and been launch supervisor for cable companies. I'm a printer and also a baker. I grew up in Liberty Missouri and Northglenn Colorado. Moving to Arkansas let me work in carpentry. I love the Ozarks, they are just wonderful to me.
We used to go camping every month year around. Canoe trips, fishing and camping figured into my youth. I was a Life Scout (Below Eagle Scout). I was a member of the Order of the Arrow and the Tribe of Micosay. Moving to the Boston mountains just south of Fayetteville Arkansas, I enjoy amateur archeological studies. Stone axes from this area are kind of my thing. My grandfather Asahel Shapland was a blacksmith from McCool Junction Nebraska.
We all made knives when we visited. But I was too small to use the big grinders so they let me work in the forge. I pounded down a railroad spike for a knife when I was young. Now my interests run to Carbon Steel Malleare Knives, Axes And Swords. which can be seen on http://redbubble.com/people/paulcoover along with numerous Orb Photographs. The stone axes are amazing to me and have my full attention.
I have a book planned for each of these subjects. Asahel Made Knives will be the title to one and Age Of Stone, Axes Of A Osage/Caddo Area will be the other. Jazz is also a passion. I play trombone and fretless Bass GuitarThe orbs presented themselves honestly and naturally. Three of us from this neighborhood have seen these with our own eyes, two of us in daylight. Still others have seen the orbs when using the flash of the camera like a flash light.
