Hey Mark,
Yes he is still carving, we have a friend (I know that is hard to believe) that carves with him every year. He lives in Cole Camp, MO, not sure about the spelling.

Mark .. Mrs. Vicki is right... Cole Camp Missouri is in the middle part of Missouri and it's a small town full of art shops and specialty stores . .

I had a chance to visit there several years ago and visited Mr. Maxwells small carving shop .. It's a nice one ..

You can go to Cole Camp Missouri on google and it will show you a picture of this wonderful little town and the business directory has Maxwell Woodcarving Shop on it ..

About 15 years ago I picked up one of Maxwells piece's on e bay and have had it since ..

Hope I could help Mark ..

Gene

Hi Mark - Yes, I am still carving. My most recent gallery is called Buzzard Roost and is located in Cole Camp, MO where I've been for 18 years. I just got started on this message board and am curious what carving you purchased on ebay. I'd love to see a picture if you can post one.

Jim
