Which Instructor should I pick

[mtngoat]

For Christmas my wife got me a class at SMWC, but I don't know who to pick, any advice.

Here are my options:
Wayne Shinlever
Tom Wolfe
Gary Falin
Floyd Radigan
Helen Gibson
Mac Profitt

I would be happy with any of them, but just wanted some input from the folks here, the only class I have ever had was a Pete LeClair class. So if anyone has any experience with any of the instructors please let me know.

Thanks

That's a very personal decision...they are all excellent instructors...kind of depends on what you are looking for...they all have their own unique style!

Josh,
I've taken classes from Wayne, Gary and Floyd. They are all excellent carvers/instructors and I would carve with anyone of them again. I've watched Tom Wolfe carve at his shop on Grandfather Mountain, but am still waiting for an opportunity to carve with him.
Not much help, but I hope it helped some,

I would look at their work and take classes from the one who I would most like to be able to carve like.

I think I would choose floyd or tom just my opinion

Being a raptor carver,I would pick Floyd,however for me to make a decision to
pick anyone of the other classes would similar of me going into a candy store and picking
the best candy because they are all great. The same goes for the instructors you mentioned.
