[Woodcarver] Recommendation for Woodcarving Illustrated s 2008 Woodcarver of the Year

[Lynn Diel]

Bill - Please ignore the rest of this message :)

Folks
In my humble opinion, I will be recommending Bill Judt
 
     While Bill is not one to seek the limelight, his craftsmanship is ranks up there with the masters of time.  His ability to portray stories in relief are second to none and inspiring. His contributions to woodcarving includes many books and ebooks that allow beginners and seasoned woodcarvers the ability to produce works of art.
 
     In addition, he pioneered the first woodcarving eZine on the network and has provided articles on finishing, layout and fabricating lumber for relief as well as other How-To's. More importantly, he established and maintains a listserve for woodcarvers that foster and promotes woodcarving. Where he and others openly share their knowledge with others.
 
     While I have not had the opportunity to take a class from Bill, but I have heard from from those who have and the reviews have all been excellent.  I do have many of his books and his instructions are clear and his designs inspiring.   
 
     Bill's works are like the those of old masters, Leonardao Da Vinci and others, will be enjoyed for years to come.

Blessings and Peace
 Lynn
