Hi  Maura,

I have a copy of Monty Kennedy's "Checkering and Carving of  Gunstocks" and 
if you haven't had a better offer to you personally,  I  would be glad to send 
you my copy.    I think I bought it at  the Half Price Book store in Madison, 
WI just because it was a carving book  and I can't resist a carving book 
unless really badly done.    Anyway,  it has been on my shelf for about 6 years so 
chances I'd attack  a stock of my husbands is pretty remote.   I do admire 
your work and  your vision and self directed confidence so you would get much 
more use out of  it than my timid carving nature will allow so how bout I send it 
to  you.   

Caviat:    I'd like to see the  finished work when you are done.   On your 
web...let me know to look  and see it.    

Maybe you have had a better offer...if  not let me know where to send it and 
I will get it off to you in  a day  or two.

Yes Bill and Patti,  this is just too sweet an offer to refuse.   I insist on 
at least paying the shipping though.  I will send you out some  dough when 
you tell me how much. And you don't know how much I will appreciate  it. I 
myself am a big carving book junky so if theres anything that your  interested in, 
I'm sure I might have something for you.  I can't wait  to try carving 
gunstocks.  I am excited about it. 
 
and as a contributor to "the state of woodcarving........ you may be happy  
to know that it is my intent to try to get it into print some time this  year. 
maybe even add a few more chapters to it...   Thanks  again
