[Woodcarver] Dragon Spoon (was need help for class)

[Mike Bloomquist]

Have at it Bill.  Sounds like a great modification... just make sure we all
get pictures here when it's finished :-).

I'm from Upstate NY Bill.  I was lucky once and my employer sent me to Tampa
when the Florida State carving show was on with the Florida State Fair.  It
was an awesome show.  Spent $7 to get into the fair... went straight to the
building with the woodcarvings... spent the entire time there... didn't even
buy any fried bread dough.  Best-of-Show was a large trio of humpback
whales... natural finish... butternut I think.  Unfortunately that was
several years ago and no good excuse to be sent there again unless it's on
my dime.


Keep on Carvin'
