[Woodcarver] Things I learn about woodcarving-your education for today

[Bill Smith]

yes yes I agree with u on the knowledge one gets from
wood carvings and even learn things that I have never
know about the subject at hand my it be a wood spirit
or a type of fish that I have never seen and was asked
to carve and also draw different plans one needs to
know the subject before he or she tries to do such a
job and how it will look will show if the person did
or did not do a research on the subject
