I have been a whitler for a long time, I don't really think I could call it carving, but I would like to be a sure nough carver. I look forward to hearing from and speaking with some real carvers. I need lots of advice and direction. I am no spring chicken but I still like to stay active and I still take direction pretty well (after all I have been married to the same woman for 35 years). I appreciate the friendly attitudes that I read on the post.

Hi Herb, welcome to the forum. Nice to have you join us. Don't sell yourself short, whittling and carving ain't that different.
