Looking for Woodcarvers

[karen king]

Anybody hand carving anymore?

[Dave Balderstone]

There're some of 'em over at rec.crafts.carving, methinks.

I bought my daughter a nice chip carving kit a couple of years ago when she was fascinated after the wood show here, but it remains unbreached.

As for me, I've whittled a pike from a stick while watching my son play ball, but that's about it.

Thank you for the info. Am working with cedar.

Balderstone sure sounds Viking-You Norwegian? Did art pottery carved Balder for friend in Canada.

Rick-So how do I locate folks to visit with? Want to discuss Viking carving -Maybe there is another hermit out there with that interest.Thanks

[Rick Cook]

First thing to do is to join rec.crafts.carving. That's where the woodcarvers hang out.

Next do a google search on 'viking' 'carving' and related. There is a lot of interest in Viking lore and culture out there and a lot of sites dealing with aspects of it. For example there's one that discusses the major styles of Viking carving -- of which there are about six. (Sorry, no URL handy.)
