[Woodcarver] (chat)The first I've sent

Hi Sylda,

Welcome to the List.

If you are heading this way (60-miles west of Chicago) you'll get a chance
to meet some of these List members at my GOW (Gathering Of Woodcarvers)
September 20 through 25th. We'll have about 20 seminars going on that week.
I have camping space available. Click on the GOW link at the bottom of my
home page of my web site below and read all about it.

> Dear New Friends,
> This is my first round of emails from Woodcarvers. I'm Sylda Nichols; I
live
> in Leonardville, KS (pop. 700-800).  Actually we live 4 miles out of town.
> We have horses, dogs, & cats on 16 acres.  My husband, Tom, and I are both
> retired.  We have a 2nd house on our property which allows us to travel in
> our Motorhome while the renters care for things in our absence.  We belong
> to the Kaw Valley Woodcarvers Club out of Topeka, KS and the Mid-America
> Woodcarvers out of Omaha, NE.  We have been carving & woodburning about 4
> years.  The Topeka Club has a seminar at Baldwin, KS every June that we
> attend and we've attended Doane Experience in Crete, NE twice.  The talk
of
> a seminar in VT sounds so interesting -- we've never been in that part of
> the country.

> Muzz, you said sitting around kitchen tables & campfires are "no more".
> Come join Rver's, retired or not, we do a lot of sitting around -- 
carving,
> woodburning, swapping patterns, yarns, etc. -- lots of fun.  Join Rver's
> anywhere.

> Please, excuse this newcomers ignorance -- What state is the Ozark
Mountain
> Woodcarvers located in?  (Missouri or Arkansas?)
>
> Where do I find info on the Silver Dollar City seminar in 2005?  Is it one
> and the same as the Ozark Mountain Woodcarvers seminar?

> Thank you, Mr. Chips & Gene, on the info on the Diamond Willow wood.  A
man
> in our Escapee Campground in AZ had walking sticks of (if I'm remembering
> right) Colorado Diamond Willow, so I've seen that Diamond Willow and
thought
> it was great -- I'd like to see Canada/Alaska Willow.

> Plaques" by Harold L. & Elaine Enlow was recommended to me.  I spent most
of
> a winter carving everything in the book and several different applications
> of it.  It simplified relief carving for me.  I'm now doing much more

> results yet; however, the fun in working on them is priceless, as well, as
> the enjoyment of working with and under the instruction of friends.
