[Woodcarver] Coping and original work

When I teach, my students are encouraged to carve two projects, using 
patterns I provide. But only in their first course. The second course 
normally finds them on the light table designing an ORIGINAL piece. 
They may use images that others have created (wildlife paintings, for 
example) but the composition of their carvings is to be theirs alone.

Subsequently, the majority of the student carvings that emerge from my 
studio are unique. Most of these are entirely original, starting with 
photos THEY have taken. The satisfaction my students receive from these 
carvings is huge.
