I've had Carpenter Shavings since 2014. I originally had it planted in a pot where it bloomed in 2015 but not 2016. I decided to plant it in the ground in early 2017. Apparently it didn't like the spot it was in (near peonies) as it did not bloom that year or the next. I finally dug it up in 2019 and planted it in a grow bag. It loves the grow bag! It has now bloomed every year since I've moved it and even has rebloomed for me! It blooms early-midseason in my garden. While many early-mid and midseason daylilies didn't bloom in 2023 for me due to an early season drought, Carpenter Shavings did bloom (albeit poorly). If I had written this review prior to 2019 I would have said Carpenter Shavings wasn't worth a spot in my garden. It turns out you just need to find the right spot for it if it isn't doing well.
