Well, well, well. Look what the new forum drug up. Little ole w-w jumped on it quicker than a hungry dog on table scraps.

Thanks to Bob and the Administration for quickly modifying the board in reaction to varying needs. It's much appreciated.

Back to w-w.... Welcome indeed! It's nice to keep adding members - especially those that post. Lurkers are fine.....it's just that the more input "we" get, the better we all become.

Lastly - in case I may have offended anyone - It is me that is (was) a good friend of THE wood-whittler.....at least I hope that this is who I think it is!!!!

Hi there - fellow caricature carver. Note that there is a caricature forum just for US, and I hope to see you on it. Do you use any power besides cutting out blanks? There aren't many of us left! Big Al

[Bartster]

thanks big al it is always good meeting another caricature carver then again its good to meet any carver.

the answer to your question about power tools is no i do not every once in awhile i may use the foredom to rough something out but for the most part it is strictly hand tools.

Hello Everyone

I am an anglo-irish woodcarver currently working in England and particularly interested in lettering. At present my main work involves antique restoration and carving inscriptions, usually in iroko. Any fellow letterers out there?

Cheers

Welcome aboard Arapsang and Wood-Whittler. Great to have more carvers to draw experience from. Lots of us do lettering, of all kinds, so you should find lots to talk about. Enjoy the site.
