[Woodcarver] Larry's response

[Lori Corbett]

Congratulations on your first commission, Larry! You're not alone in the 
sudden feeling of "not measuring up". Welcome to the club...you're 
officially part of the "gang"...hehehe. Even after my almost 20 years of 
carving, I'd be telling a big fat lie if I said I wasn't apprehensive 
with each new commission. "1,000 Pound Knife Club"...I think you've hit 
on something there (big grin). But you'll do fine...after the first cut, 
the confidence will grow along with the excitement.
