When I was little my grandfather whittled and he gave me a pocket knife and I would try to do what he did. He did not carve. I worked in a hospital with a gentleman who is an awesome wood carver and bought some carving knives and did a rough Americana bunny. Nothing to write home about. That was about 10-15 years ago. Looking for someone to sharpen my knives and having no luck I looked for a wood carving club in hopes they could tell me where to go. Belleville Holzschnitzers is where I ended up. Don- my teacher in the club threw away several of my caving knives as they were junk. I have been in the club almost a year. LOVE it and love the members.

Still a Noobie! But want to do the Wood spirits. Actually nothing is disinteresting so will try all I can get my hands into.

Anything tiny!

Anything to do with carving! Want to do wood spirits and some character carving.

If there is a craft I haven't tried I will when I find out about it. knit, crochet, sew needlework etc.

Noobie here. No one wants my work........yet!
