[Woodcarver] Question of power

[Byron]

Carving is simply subtractive sculpture, removing material to create a
piece of art.  The method in which the wood is removed matters not, it's
still carving.   The method used to remove wood can make a difference in
texture of the final product, but since we are dealing with art the texture
is up to the artist.  

Bottom line... Don't let the nay sayers disturb you.  Most of us that have
carved for any length of time have used them all, except for maybe a chain
saw (no chain saws for me yet) and sometimes all the same carving.

> I have a question. I have less than two years experience carving. Its a

passion for me. In the two years I have seen many carvers say that power
carving is not real carving. I think that there are many ways to end at the
same goal. I love power and hand carving. What is your opinion on this?
