Shop Tours
I would like to give
you a report about the recent shop tour at Jim Jolliffe's shop where we attempted to provide
a shop tour that was
interactive, educational and fun. There were sixteen club members
present
including two very recent new members, Doug and Justin. Five of the
regular carvers were on hand with examples of their carvings, everything
from Ken's whimsical cottonwood bark houses, Bob's caricatures, Harry's
full-figure Indian carving and Dick's stylized carvings. Dick guided
some
of the group through a small owl carving and Paul provided a large board
with various patterns for those who wanted to try relief carving. We
discussed getting started in wood carving, carving tools and sharpening;
trying to expound on the presentations given at the last Club meeting by
Alf and David Sharp. While this meeting of the carvers was a deliberate
attempt to serve the entire Club, it was not too different from every
carver's meeting at Jim's shop: interactive, educational and fun!
Sincerely,
Paul Jalbert
