Hello Friends:
Just wanted to share an experience with all of you. Apart from all of you
kind people at the List, I have received incredible support from the team at
Fox Chapel Publishing Company. They produce books/magazines on every
imaginable topic in woodcarving. Those of you who may be interested can
take a look at their website foxchapelpublishing.com I must make special
mention of my wife Genevieve. She is the one who established initial
contact with the list and fox chapel, she put together my album. She is
literally my right hand. If it were not for her, I would have given up a
long time ago.

Lori,
I will <note the problems>, but they'll be minor ones I'm sure. From where
I stand you <and others> have got the "dream job"... you write the books.

Thanks, Mike! Don't pull any punches on account I'm on the list...if you
see problems, by all means note them! Have fun! (You have a dream job,
there...as a book-o-phile myself, I would love a task like yours...grin).

Hey Gang,
I got a few books in the mail today for review. Matt Kelly says I can
write WOM reviews for them (you were warned), but I had to rave about two of
them here. Among the books were "Carving Award Winning Songbirds" by Lori
Corbett and "Wood Spirits and Green Men" by Lora S. Irish (with Chris Pye,
Shawn Cipa, and Clive Hicks). Since they're both on the list I'd like to
say here... Wow! Very nice work folks... very nice. Can't wait to give
them a good, thorough read (Oh yeah... and carve projects from them <G>).
It sure doesn't look like a tough job to write good things about them.
Keep on Carvin'
-Mike B.->

Chirping in here as I had my ears burning a little yesterday :)
Perhaps Lori will agree (or disagree) that some of the wonderfully fun
things that go along with writing a book include:
1. Not a single clean fork in the house because all of the dishes we
own are stacked up, dirty, in the sink and your beloved husband
threatening to go to the store for plastic silverware, paper plates,
Styrofoam coffee cups, and frozen TV dinners just so he won't starve to
death before deadline arrives.
2. Your blue jeans are about three days past ripe because there just
hasn't been a moment to do laundry and we won't even talk about the pile
of damp bath towels in the hamper.
3. Your beloved husband wandering down the hall in the early morning
hours to find the living room floor covered with pages and pages of half
written notes, partially finished patterns, open library books used for
references and ideas, and you sitting in the middle of the pile
throwing a royal tantrum of frustration.
4. Morning alarm clocks set for 4 AM just to squeeze in an extra hour
or two of work before the real work of the day begins.
5. The growing pile of finished samples totally consuming every nock
and cranky of your house and you don't dare open any closet door for
fear of being buried under wooden boxes, sign blanks, and other assorted
carvings and wood burnings.
OH - WAIT A MINUTE !
That's my 'What happens when I'm on a wood carving binge" list! Sorry
about that!!!!
If I may put in my two cents about the book reviews - I would like to
say "Thank You" to Chris, Shawn, and Clive. They were fantastic to work
with during our last book project. It was an absolute delight to have
been part of this joint endeavor. And for all the beloved spouses,
kids, and co-workers that support us, whether it is in a wood related
business or in our passion for our hobby and craft, I extend our Thanks
for your patience, support, and encouragement. I know that the attitude
of those that we love about what we are doing can truly determine our
own attitudes about our endeavors. Being surrounded by supportive and
encouraging people makes everything even better!

Hi Sue,
LOL we had a good chuckle with your note of reality. There is some
comfort to know other folks households survive in the same manner as
ours..."rather out-of-control." Not that I would wish a household like
this on anyone. Our little country corner store always knows when
we're into a project because we survive on their pizza's "daily."
David and I do this together as do you and Mike. I would say David is
the "stabilizer." When I reach the point of panic attack, he is always
there to calm the stormy waters and helps me see how much we've
accomplished rather than how much we have to do. I've never been good
in that category.
Thanks for the reality check. LOL
Sally and David
PS. We can't wait to receive our autographed copy of Lori's book.
We've seen a picture of the cover and "know" the content will be great.

Hey Dally, Hey David,
Rather out-of-control ??? Is there any other way to live for if there is
I want someone to clue me in, give me the secret, write it down and mail
it to me ...
I believe that in any project, whether a new book or a new large
carving, there is a point of total desperation. It usually comes for me
about 4/5's of the way through. There is that moment in a carving when
you have just about everything at the right depth, just about all of the
detailing added, most of the fuzz bunnies captured and destroyed, all
most all of the under cuts done ... But nothing is quite finished.
That's the moment I freak out! There is always that stupid but insistent
fear that this time I won't be able to pull it all together and get it
finished. That this time I will simply fall flat of my face in the mud
... AHHH!
Now for Michael, that's the time that he knows we are almost through to
the other end, just about done, and near the finish line. He takes my
moment of my O. M. G.'s and rejoices that this one is about to be
packed, stamped, and mailed. Thank heavens for loving support!!!
I haven't had a chance to order Lori's newest, but it is definitely on
my Must Do list for the week.
Now, Sally, when can we expect to see a new book off your work table.
The fan bird is your Christmas card was, well, pun totally intended, FAN
- tastic.
Oh, I missed one on my list:
6. You have to go buy a snow shovel because the saw dust and wood chips
in the work shop are so deep that they are starting to create snow
drifts when the fan comes on and you hubby is afraid that if you fall
down that he will never be able to find you underneath the depths of the
chips.

/1. Not a single clean fork in the house because all of the dishes we
own are stacked up, dirty, in the sink ..../*That one doesn't apply.
Hubby does all the cooking (GREAT cook, too.) I'm tame, but not
domesticated. *
/2. Your blue jeans are about three days past ripe because there just
hasn't been a moment to do laundry..../*See above. Oh, and let's not
forget the request that in the future "would I please take my dusty
clothes off on the deck, so the dust doesn't get tracked into the
house?"....Uuuuhhhhhh....O-kaaaaaayyyy...and how long is the sentence
for public nudity?*/*
*3. Your beloved husband wandering down the hall in the early morning
hours to find the living room floor covered with pages and pages of half
written notes, partially finished patterns, open library books used for
references and ideas, and you sitting in the middle of the pile
throwing a royal tantrum of frustration..../*Oh, there were some
magnificent temper tantrums to be sure...lol. My dear husband had no
problems taking my "suggestion" that he go play golf or flyfishing (can
you say, "if you want to stay in one piece"?)*
/4. Morning alarm clocks set for 4 AM just to squeeze in an extra hour
or two of work before the real work of the day begins..../*
Alarm clock set? You actually got some SLEEP??? There were a few
all-nighters pulled.*
/5. The growing pile of finished samples totally consuming every nock
and cranky of your house and you don't dare open any closet door for
fear of being buried under wooden boxes, sign blanks, and other assorted
carvings and wood burnings.../*Actually....NOTHING except the three
carvings, and husband asking "Are you going to start your commissions,
soon? How about some cash flow?" (My answer: See #3 above)*.
The book definitely took on a life of its own, as I'm sure Susan can
attest. By the way, I have your expanded Great Book of Dragon Patterns.
I've never carved a dragon, but I LOVE dragons. Great job!!!!
As to having a "Moral Support Team"...it would be a sorry undertaking
indeed without them. We may write, carve and photograph, but the book
couldn't be done without our M.S.T. for sure!
Funny stuff, Susan...I'm glad I'm not the only one (grin)! This being my
first book, I had NO IDEA what I was in for (neither did Fox
Chapel...hehehehe). I'm afraid they got a dose of a bonified
Obsessive/Compulsive Personality (yes, it's true, I'm OCD).
After the dust settled and I could breathe again, I have to say that
despite all the inevitable problems, it was an enjoyable experience. And
if Fox decides there will be a "next time", then I know a little more
about what to expect. The road should be smoother. They were a joy to
work with and they did a SUPER job with the design and layout...
Thanks again, Susan for the chuckles!
