Default Sculptor Greatful for shop talk

Hello all,
I am a fine artist, who works in many media (steel, bronze, stone, plastics, clay, and of course wood) Mainly I do figurative relief work. More and more I have been tending towards wood, due to space and time constraints. But I do love the medium, and I will be happy to have some folks to talk shop with.

I've also started making some "magic wands" with carved handles for kids, I think I might try to make a go of it as a side gig. I can carve them while relaxing at home, unlike the sculptures that require a bit more concentration. Maybe they'll find a niche market online... we'll see.
Happy to be here,
Peter
