[Woodcarver] What is GOW and Roundup?

[Bill Smith]

Hi Bonnie I know that I personally have never been
there but do make furniture myeself and found that the
prices if your hubby sells his work could double or
even tripple depends on who much relief carving he
does.

I have wanted to go myself and I am from Tampa however
due to a limited income doesnt help to get away much.
