Focus of this blog!

From time to time it's important to address the main focus of this blog.

It's that time again!

Beginners Carving Corner and Beyond is the title of this blog.  But I think the main focus is on the "Beginners".  That's not to say we'll not stray above the beginners level.  You see, I believe that we're all beginners whenever we move on to something new and out of our comfort zone.

Most of the posts here will be of a nature that a beginner, or intermediate whittler can accomplish.

Here's another interesting word -"WHITTLER".  To me a whittler is one who uses a carving knife almost exclusively.  I personally feel that beginners will benefit from starting out with mainly the carving knife.  First off, there need not be much of a financial investment in tools (just the knife).

The posts on this blog will, for the most part include steps to accomplish a specific project.  Each step will be supported by a photo.  Within the posting  there will normally be TIPS that will help one to have a successful learning experience.  Where appropriate a pattern will be used and included in a post.

Comments are encouraged and will be answered.

It is my goal to introduce folks to the world of wood carving, by providing learning activities that will insure a successful learning experience, and pave the way for a lasting experience.
