Default Hey Y'all
I recently moved to Austin, Texas, from pretty much the entire west coast. I would like to make contact with any other chainsaw carvers or power tool woodcarvers in this part of the world. Looking for Pros, weekenders, wannabes, and hobbyists.

Mostly just curious but there is strength in numbers and it would be easier to create opportunities or seize on them if I knew who is out there. Besides this also lets us tell lies, B.S. and compare scars.

Or learn, carving lessons for those interested.

Contact me at rl.blair@yahoo.com or check out my website R.L. Blair - Sculptor, Wood Carving, Sculpture

Welcome, RLBlair:

I'm in Round Rock, just north of Austin. Not (yet?) a chainsaw carver, though. A little at a time...
