[Woodcarver] Chat: Whatcha' Carvin'

[Merrilee Johnson]

Hi Bill!
   All 3 of these are beautiful!  I especially liked the way you did the 
trees for the school.  Having the plain, flat ones in the center and the 
shaped ones on either side!  Wow!  Are these 3 pictures on your web site? I 
would like to show a friend.   And although I have 2 of your books I don't 
believe I have seen trees carved this way before.  I am doing an 18" cross 
in relief for a children's alter and it has some pine boughs (sp?) on it but 
I haven't started it yet because all I can see is the way the real ones are 
and that looks way to complicated for what I wanted to do on it.  Do you 
have any words of wisdom from you concerning pine trees?  Hopefully awaiting 
your reply!....
Thanks!
Merrilee
