[Woodcarver] Favorite Stories that involve carving or carvers??

[Mike Bloomquist]

Chuck,
Try "The Story of the House of Wooden Santas" by Kevin Major.  It's
illustrated with photos of Santa carvings by Imelda George.  The book is
about the same reading level as "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathon Toomey".
I enjoyed the story more in "House", but I own both < of course ;-) >.

If you get outside the political baggage Jane Fonda brings to "The
Dollmaker", it's really a good story, and I think she did a fair job with
it.  I enjoyed the story even before I was a woodcarver.  Your posting is
real serendipity since I just began looking for the book by Harriet Arnow
which the movie was based on.  Someone, Chris Howard I think, told me at the
NEWR recently that he knew the woodcarver who did the carvings for that
movie.

Keep on Carvin'
