Dennis,

I haven't really had a chance to go through my copy yet, but FYI it is a CD-rom, not a DVD--you need to have a PC running Windows to watch it.

I don't know much about this particular carver or his DVD, other than I have seen it on eBay for at least the last two years...but I would recommend three other DVD's that are available quite often on eBay, Jack Price , Carving the Compact Character, Rich Wetherbee, Carving a Face In Pitch Pine and one of the most under appreciated carvers (now deceased ) Claude Bolton, Carving a Caricature Cowboy Face.
Usually these DVD's are priced at about $16.95 or buy it now for $24.95...cheapy that I am I bid $16.95 till I got them at that price. Red Face
Also on Claude Bolton, his three books are all worthwhile, (Little Shaver carries at least one) anytime you can pick up any of his books on eBay I would suggest you do so if caricature carving is your thing. Smile

Cheers.

OG

I imagine the price on this is supposed to be 19.97 not $192

The Jack Price DVD is great... It has around 30 chapters so you can watch each step...

On a side note... Jack lives about 15 miles SW of me.
