Good Morning. My name is Dave (flyer67) and after about 50 years have again found an old love. I started carving as a Boy Scout and don't know why it has taken so long to get back. I am a soon to retire trust banker from Avon Connecticut who anticipates getting totallly imersed carving. I have a thousand questions, all of which are old stuff to most of you, but I have learned through the years that you always go to the best to get better.

Thanks for the opportunity to join,

Dave

Hello and welcome, Dave. It's nice to have you here with us. Try looking through the past posts by doing a search of what type of carving interests you and go from there.

Hi Dave and Welcome. My first real attempt at a recognizable carving was a Boy Scout neckerchief slide done in 1952. A lots of chips have fallen since then. Be sure to explore all the little nooks and crannies of the forum. There is a wealth of information here to help one and all.
