Hi,Kathy-I've been doing waterfowl and some relief carving, but would like to venture out into some different areas, probably carricatures and some woodburning. From your logo it looks like you do some nice carricatures.

Welcome to the forum,where in Montana are you? I live in north east Montana(poplar) and there are a few others here and there in the big sky country.What kind of carving do you do?

[valmont]

Hello, I'm just outside Kalispell. Glad to know there are some other carvers up here..don't seem to run into many. Generally, I carve waterfowl, but also do some chip and relief carving when I get tired of doing feathers. What type do you do?

[North Wind]

There is one that lives in Kalispel called Santacarver.Iam just starting so I have not picked one thing.Some wood spirits,bark,mountain man and indian.I make saddles and have been carving leather for over 30yrs so it should not be to hard (I think?).

Greetings and salutations!

Hello again, actually this is my first santa I'm more of a relief carver and woodburner. Back in July I took a woodspirit carving class with Mark Gargac who contributes to this site.
