Time Spent Carving is Never Wasted, Shirt

Here it is: the ultimate excuse wrapped in a high-performance T-shirt. The “Time Spent Carving Is Never Wasted” tee doesn’t just keep you cool in the shop—it keeps you righteously justified in your life choices.

You know how it goes. The lawn needs mowing. The sink is full. Your family has started referring to you as “that person in the garage.” But you? You’re elbows-deep in basswood curls, listening to a lo-fi playlist, carving a roughout that may or may not become a Cowboy, and if that doesn't work he could become a gnome. And that, my friend, is time well spent.

This shirt is made from sweat-wicking, chip-resistant, motivational-grade fabric with a subtle stretch to accommodate dramatic full-body knife maneuvers and the occasional "oops-that-was-too-deep" flinch. It’s got the fit of an athlete, the soul of a monk, and the scent of success (okay, maybe Boiled Linseed Oil and stubborn woodchips).

Key Features:

• High-performance, moisture-wicking fabric: because carving is a full-contact sport (emotionally, at least)

• Athletic cut that says “yes I whittle, and yes these arms are real”

• Logo reads: “Time Spent Carving Is Never Wasted” — in bold, judgment-deflecting letters

• Pre-shrunk, workshop-tested, life-approved

• Machine washable, but guaranteed to accumulate wood shavings in the washer anyway

This isn’t just a shirt—it’s a philosophy. A wearable reminder that time spent in pursuit of clean cuts, quiet focus, and that perfect little curl of basswood is worth more than any productivity app, chore list, or well-meaning spouse shouting “you’ve been out there for FOUR HOURS.”

Bonus: Wearing this shirt may reduce guilt, repel uninvited housework, and attract fellow carvers who nod at you like you’re part of a secret order. Which, frankly, you are.
