whell my spelling isint to good neither is my carving i am a beginer carver although my grandfather used to make a greek instrument called kementzes something like a violin only strait from the top to the bottom and it is played while its bottom is resting on the thygh in the upright position.!!! i never had the luck of being close to him so that i could learn the craft because i was born in the states and only spent my vacation time in greece!!! i recently got interested in carving something that seems to help me with my dieting hehehee !but it is something more than just that to me it seems to consume me hehehe!i dont know how but when i draw i am realy bad at it but the whitlling is another thing i seem to be better at it! but i see this site is devoted to carving and whitlling and it seems like the folk is realy nice and helpfull so i whould like to thank all of the posters here for helping us out !!! thanks a lot ladys and jents!!!
