Sorry,
Haven't had a class with him but have carved a couple of his roughouts. Talked to him at Dayton last couple years and in my opinion he is a nice fellow. His carving is top notch and I'm sure y'all will enjoy the class.

I have taken a couple of his classes at the Creede (CO) Woodcarvers Rendezvous. He is an excellent instructor. You will enjoy.

Mark,
I have also had a class with Jon at Creede. He is a good instructor and a lot of fun. He kept picking on me about being from NY so when he wasn't looking I rearranged his tool box for him.
I also had the pleasure of attending an Enlow class that Jon was also taking. The "Harold" teaching Jon, that was a riot!
