[Woodcarver] Re:Dust Mask

[Ramsey]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the compliment.  I've been carving professionally for 35 
years.  It's been my sole source of income since I was 20.  I started 
carving when I was 11.  My Grandfather was a woodcarver and that's 
when he gave me my first set of tools.  I have taught off and on over 
the years, mostly kids through school arts programs and a couple of 
college classes.  I'm not currently doing any teaching.  Who knows, 
maybe I will again at some point.
