> John,

> 

> Welcome to the list, I suspect you may be the first Scotsman with us, 

> although we have many others from a number of other countries.

> 

> You may want to contact Peter Benson at bencarve at talktalk.net.  Peter is 

> a wonderful guy, a Brit, who is chair of the British Woodcarvers Assoc. 

> He may be able to assist you with local contacts that are within 

> reasonable distance to meet and carve with, at least on occasion!

> 

> Other sources I would point you to would be Matt Kelley's website: 

> http://www.carverscompanion.com/

> 

> There is a resource file there that covers all kinds of basic questions 

> and much more.  That has many online resources that will cost you only 

> connection time on your computer.  While not as helpful as sitting with 

> someone and watching them carve, it is a valuable compilation of 

> information.

> 

> The Woodcarvers online magazine is also here, with 10+ years of 

> information at your fingertips.  This has lots of photos, patterns, and 

> other useful bits and pieces for you to read at your leisure.

> 

> Lastly, I point new carvers to Lora Irish's website. 

> http://www.carvingpatterns.com/

> 

> Lora has introductory lessons and tips for all sorts of carving, some 

> free patterns (we ALL love free stuff!) and loads of patterns for sale! 

> Her instructions are clear and concise and perfect for working thru 

> basic techniques and new types of carving.  She's also an awfully nice 

> lady who will answer questions if something isn't clear!

> 

> That should be enough reading/homework to keep you busy for a few days! 

> Again, welcome to the list!
