Since there is no specific place for website suggestions, I will post it here and hope the webmaster sees it. Those of us who have been posting here for a year or two have seen the same beginner questions over and over. While we enjoy sharing this information, perhaps the site needs a FAQ section on topics like 'How to get started','What wood to use', 'What tools to buy', 'How to finish a carving, 'How to Sharpen tools', etc. It could be a selection of replies from the members or a synopsis compiled and edited for brevity. I visit other sites for other interests and the FAQ sections always gets a lot of attention. Another idea is a members 'Project' page where a member posts a pattern, describes how it is carved, and how to finish it. Yes, I know the magazine has lots of projects by professionals, but I see a lot of carvings on the Picture Trail that are just a professional looking as the ones in the Magazine. I would love to see Teri Embry do a few of these for us.

I'll second that! Good ideas Captain.

YES! Captain, FAQ are very very useful for all, beginners and veterans.

And about projects is a good and very good idea.

I'm behind you a hundred percent Captain! 8) This is a great idea for all of us! Claude.
