Last night Bob, Perry and I went to the Minnesota Vikings Wood Carvers meeting in Bloomington. Bob was reluctant to go but I really think he liked looking at the carvings, especially the cottonwood bark carvings. Perry was the hit of the meeting. His friends from the Chanhassen Wood Carvers introduced him as a member of their group. He was thrilled. He was also able to take a bunch of wood home from the free box that was setting out.
I picked up a block of 3/4" basswood. I want to try relief carving. I am going to follow the directions that is a woodcarving book. It's a very simple little daisy. I have the design traced onto the wood and am ready to go after it with my gouges. Woo Hoo.
Marty from www.mychipcarving.com visited my blog yesterday. He has a wonderful online store and great instructional video to stream from his site. He suggested that I post a few pictures so I'll get the camera out later and post them.
