[Woodcarver] ??? on American Indians

[Merrilee Johnson]

Good idea Sandie!  My 16 year old carver is coming over today and she has 
really long hair!  Today may not get too much carving done but I will get 
this figured out yet!  Probably looking at the real thing will be better 
than looking at braided ribbon.  Thanks!
See you soon!
