[Woodcarver] need help for class

[Loren Woodard]

John:

I help teach a basic beginning class for our woodcarving club each spring.
Our classes are one night a week for 6 weeks.  I would like to get a look at
your outline if it wouldn't be too much trouble for you.  My email address
is lorenwoodard at charter.net.  Thanks in advance.

Alex 
I have a beginner carving class outline along with a very simple project. It
covers the following topics 

Types of carving
Tools
Safety
Sharpening
Types of cuts

It is in MS word and is about 1MB in size if you like I can send it to you.

God Bless,
JohnG

Recently I met a lady who said she has wanted to do wood carving for many
years and asked me to give here some starting lessons.  She will be coming
to stay here for two days early next month and I need to plan the class for
her.  I was thinking along the lines of: 1.  Explain basic carving tools and
types of carving 2.  Discussion of safety 3.  Sharpenening demonstration and
practice 4.  Beginning carving

Although I know she is interested in carving spirit or other faces, I am
thinking it might be best to start with something easier.  I have a simple
owl pattern that I think would be good to do first to learn about grain and
basic cutting before attempting a face in a stick, egg or bark.  I would
like your thoughts on this and perhaps suggested outlines for the discussion
first 3 items above.  I will monitor the list for input and also welcome
your responses directly to me at albisso at bresnan.net

Thanks in advance.
