Chris, thanks so much for your kind words.  It truly was a pleasure to
meet your and your wife.  I know that you will be very busy with your new
baby, but maybe you  can get a few minutes to carve.  I think you have
already learned a bit about the spirit and the generosity of woodcarvers.
 Hopefully we can meet up again.  BTW I'll be at the woodcarvers roundup
in Evart, Michigan in June, at the Northeast Woodcarvers Roundup near
Scranton, Pennsylvania in July and at the Woodcarvers Rendezvous in Rhode
Island in October.  Contact me for info on these programs.

Chris,

Take all the lessons and advice you can from Jack Miller but be
careful about that "open arms" stuff !! Knowing Jack he must be up to
something !!!!

Jack Miller and Pete LeClair.  Jack I cant thank you enough for letting me
sit in and listen to you teach your painting class, all your tips and hints
sadly as you know I could not get there on the Friday to actually do the
carving but your help, experience and guidance I received from you I will be
forever grateful and to Pete LeClair who was absolutely flabbergasted that I
had come all the way from Canada just to meet him.  Pete's kindness and
generosity was overwhelming from the gifts of the blank for "Mr Dunta
Fanutta" and the companion CD Rom to go with it, to your pointers and tips
for my Ron Wells knife, to the alleged free time he had on his lunch where
he carved a caricature face for my 10mos old son which he signed to my son
for that I cannot thank you enough.  To John Dunkle whom I had never met nor
talked to before
  but only heard about him from other people, I thank you for the personal
knife and tool Sharpening 101 class that you gave me and no charge at that,
so I came home with all super sharp carving tools, thank you also John for
bolstering my confidence on my 5pc set of carving tools that are not so bad
after all(Professional Chinese Set) I truly appreciate it.  To Jan the
Woodbutcher....John told me to give a big Hello to you!!!!

Hello,
I am trying to make a habitat scene for a bird carving to include a mossy
forest floor.  Can someone give me a hint on how to create this?  I've been
trying successive layers of spray adhesive and sawdust, but with limited
results.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Cheers,

I don't know about your case, but, I know some fish carvers who use ground
up cork to use for ground in their habitat.  You can get it in fine and
coarse ground and gives a good texture I am told.  I know one such supplier
is Hide and Beak Supply at Saginaw, Minnesota.  I am sure other suppliers
might have it also.  Just a thought.  
Also, some type of moss that you can buy at hobby shops might help you out
or work for you.

Some shows, and even some artists who don't compete, expect that the habitat
be made of wood.  If that is your case, I've seen some successful moss made
with drill shavings, which, unlike sawdust, have a "curl" to them.

Thanks for that tip, I will remember that when I am making some fish carving
habitat.
