[Woodcarver] Chat Woodcarving, Tools, materials & equipment" Vol. 1 & 2

[Charlie Briggs]

Hey Chuck,
I'm the guy that asked the question on the Gouges and
I can walk to that school if I wanted to.
I don't go there but I am heavily involved with the Unorthodox Carving Club 
which is only a couple of miles from the school.
Good luck with the interview. It would be great if you relocateed to the 
area, the club could use another member.
Lets us know how you make out.

Charlie
