[Woodcarver] "Free Spirit" relief carving - Thanks and more information

[Bill Judt]

About the workshop that Alex attended...

Deb and I are currently discussing dates for the two summer Relief  
Carving workshops in my Saskatoon studio. We've been toying with the  
idea of one week in June and the other in September. Having two weeks  
in a row exhausted us last summer...

Any comments?

Blessings and Peace,

Bill
