You are sooo right Maura  carving in general is going down 

More people know asbout carving than let say 5 or 7 years ago 

and Ones most people KNOW there is no challence and their houses have oodles of carvings in them and as they run out of space ,they also run out of interest  My classes are down from 60-65 to 48 that tells me enough 

All hobbys go in cycles remember how big Ceramics was and Folk art painting ?? carving will come back but only in its own good time
