A few of you maybe familiar with me via the Mini-Cane exchanges hosted by Mr. Tom H. <br /><br />I have been piddling at whittling for about 2 years now. My goal is to get to working in the round. <br /><br />On with the adventure and thank you fellas for a great blog site.Buckboard WoodWorkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201911484397143328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775756370228803474.post-47089430166593746472009-09-04T06:42:40.239-05:002009-09-04T06:42:40.239-05:00Hal,

But i am still learning and this is as good a place as any to begin.<br />Tom and Thomp do a great job and my only question is there a way beginners or any one can post pictures of there work and progress or do they have to go through you guys to get them posted.<br /><br />Hal in Seattlehwallen48https://www.blogger.com/profile/14747024268998577827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775756370228803474.post-65563489473557399322009-09-03T23:21:59.647-05:002009-09-03T23:21:59.647-05:00Hi Thanks for what you are doing here!

I've gone through some surgery stuff that's sort of put me 'way behind' in a lot of areas and my 'wet-behind-the-ears' carving attempts have been relegated to the end of the 'do it' line right now.<br /><br />I will mention that I think a lot more than 43 people are following your blog. That Blogspot 'followers' stuff doesn't capture anyone who doesn't 'become' a follower but most (including me) just follow the RSS feed. <br /><br />Thanks for all your hard work and insights.<br /><br />Cheers --- LarryLarry Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211549672565037525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775756370228803474.post-20420514003445255062009-09-03T11:53:59.233-05:002009-09-03T11:53:59.233-05:00Hello all,

I like caricature carving especially in the Jack Price style and also flat plane carving.Just rejoined a carving club so hopefully my carving will improve. I also like all the quick carvings and especially the study stick on santas.Excellent site it would be hard to improve. Perhaps some study sticks on eyes another on noses, etc.<br /> My knives that I won are great and were much admired in the carving club I just joined They are great for the little guys.<br /> Computer is still down so I am at the library and can only check in occassionaly anymoreRobert Cahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196282971882118367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775756370228803474.post-88196197807035030862009-09-03T10:20:30.243-05:002009-09-03T10:20:30.243-05:00Hi, My name is Herb and I have been whittling regu...Hi, My name is Herb and I have been whittling regularly for a little over a year now.
