| | Re: Hello.... Im new Boy you two ladies have some wonderful works of art ~ BEAUTIFUL......
Tell me, how did you both start out ~ very artistic!!!!!
I love santas, and think I am going to start with something along that line ~ work on the eyes and such ~ they look like so much fun ~
no carving clubs in my area that I know of. Unfortunately.... Ive been to the Woodcraft store many times ~ and nice to talk to people and hear their stories.
I just placed an order with Fox chapel and ordered a couple books ~ anxiously awaiting them~ Laughing ~ I guess I got the "Carving Fever" ~
Have a great day ~

| | Re: Hello.... Im new Maggie - I had never THOUGHT of wood carving until 1988 when a friend who knew I loved Santa showed me Ron Ransom's first Santa carving book . I KNEW I could do that. ( I didn't know I had to sharpen)
I had no lessons, no clubs, no Internet, nothing except Ron's book but I kept going. And I've never looked back.
Carving is a fever ... an addiction. Boy, is it FUN. Welcome to the club. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
