Default Using the computer
Would like to know how you use your computer to help you with carving, painting, etc.
One way that I have found useful: go to Google alerts Google Alerts - Monitor the Web for interesting new content and follow the simple directions to get this free service. I have typed in: Wood carving, my last name, carving bird, each one individually.
Most of the automatic returns are not useful, but once in awhile some very interesting stuff comes up. I have not experienced any spam from this service...that I know of!

another use of the computer: Putting the image you want to carve as background or wallpaper it is easier to study the reference. Each time you go to the computer there it is and you notice another detail. Try it, I think you will like it. Dick
