[Woodcarver] re Phill & a class

[cynda douglas]

Hi Phill,
I'd be happy to pass my cypress knee source along.  She is Darline Treitler 
and I got started buying them from her on ebay.   Contact her directly at 
bpshoppegirlmt183 at yahoo.com and just be sure to tell her they are for 
carving  and that I sent you.  You will like dealing with her.

She also has a new site with all her contact information on it, but her 
knees aren't listed there yet,  at 
<http://thebackporchshoppe.tripod.com/>http://thebackporchshoppe.tripod.com
  She doesn't have all the bark removed but her prices are very reasonable. 
If they have worm holes, which makes that part useless for carving it will 
say on her listings. She replies quickly ordinarily, but with the storm 
coming she may be pretty busy or they may have headed for the hills to ride 
it out??.  I haven't heard from her since yesterday morning. If you do get 
some I can tell you how to easily remove the bark, tho they remove part of 
it. It is fun to carve and carves easliiy and cleanly. It does have to be 
completely dry, but it dries fast when you remove the bark.

I sincerely hope everyone comes thru Ivan's wrath OK, and that the boat you 
built can rides out one more. That it has already done so says a lot about 
your ability as a boat builder. (I don't know the correct terms and I'm a 
dry lander.)

I've been so envious of those of you who have the carving classes to 
attend.  But there is going to be a one night class HERE for 
scrimshaw!  And it's only $24 for class and some things, and I sure plan to 
go!  WHEEEE!  :-)   But for now I'm going to visit your web sites.

Everybody, please be safe!
