 Hi From Illinois I'm new to the board and relatively new to carving. I was inspired to try mini wood spirits by the article in last month's magazine called "5 minute Wood Spirits. I have had a lot of fun with my first spirits. Looking forward to learning and growing with all of you. Last edited by rdschot@frontiernet.net : 07-09-2008 at 08:36 PM.  |

| Re: Hi From Illinois I'm from Urbana, welcome to the sight! Its a great place to get answers to questions and to find almost any conceiveable information on all kinds of wood carving, AND to share thoughts and ideas about the subject too! All levels of carvers are represented here. The carvers are a friendly lot as well. The carver galleries are FANTASTIC!!!  ,Jim |

| Re: Hi From Illinois Thanks for the encouragement..... The work I've looked at is humbling. I hope to get there sometime too. I think I need to work on getting more nose and eye depth and detail. I think I'll try some larger pieces and see what I can do. What is your favorite "found" wood to work on? I'd like to try some bark or found wood carving. Are there any particularly good DVD's you comee across for woodspirit or mountainman face carving? Oh, I'm in central Illinois, near Lake Shelbyville. Roy |
