First off, welcome Karl.

ing photos of your carvings is a good way for those on the Board to get to know you, at least where you are coming from, so to speak. Go for it! Tom H

Welcome Karl!
This is a great place for carvers to talk, ask for advise, post their work, etc....
There is a power carving section too for folks like you and I. I carved with a Dremel for a while to see if I would like power. It's a good tool. We can't wait to see some of your work posted.
