[Woodcarver] Evart Roundup chat

[Merrilee Johnson]

Hi Joe and Slly!
   How right you both are, the Round up was great!  Sitting in your class, 
Joe, while working on the acorns and leaves relief wasn't just about carving 
a project but also about getting additional information that pertains to 
carving.  The idea of tilting the carving so it shows the best according to 
the way it will be hung was one I had to think about that evening but it 
does make sense now.  There is so much to absorb from so many people we 
leave there with our mouths open and drinking in inform ation!  It was great 
to see everyone again!  And a BIG thank you to Sandy and the crew for 
another great year!
Merrilee
