Hello my friends,

I started to carve in wood just recently, and I really enjoy the new medium.  I had no idea that there was so many different techniques a person could do.  I have been attending a class at the local High School, and became a member of the California Carvers Association.  I am currently working on a small project for a Christmas gift.. it is titled Owl.  I also am looking to get into pyrography soon.  Looking forward to posting new pics soon here.

Peace my friends.
Scott
