Mark,
Is that your shop? We have Pete coming to western ny later this year and I am looking forward to it. I like his style of carving! Those carvings are typical Pete.
I checked out your website today. It looks terrific! I saw you did a John Deere style LeClair bottle stopper too. Good job.

Hey Mark,
Looks like it was a great class. Pete is a lot of fun to carve with and it seems to me I can learn his style pretty easy. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
