The show is shaping up if you have not purchased your table you need to get your form to Nancy real soon! Here is a good web site to check out http://www.outwestwoodcarving.blogspot.com/ Lynn lives on Grand Lake near Grove OK. Some of his carvings are good for a chuckle and he has some good pointers.

Charles it is time to get started.
These are the people.
Bruce had a number of jokes and shared some of his family
connections to this type of carving. He had some antique carvings
he brought and gave some very good history of the process.
