[Woodcarver] Bishops

[Merrilee Johnson]

The Bishops are very nice and gracious people on top of being talented.  I 
had the pleasure of meeting them last year at the Dayton Ohio show.  To 
think they just quit their jobs to carve full time.  When I talked to Chris 
Howard he agreeded if you want to become good at carving then quit a regular 
job and rely on your carvings to put food on the table and pay the bills.  
You become good rather quickly after that! <BG>I don't think I'm ready for 
that yet but it sure sounds like a grand idea!!  I wish they could come 
closer to Big Rapids for a class I could attend!  Maybe some day!!
