[Woodcarver] Virtual Porch.

[Byron]

Jan,
I think that there's a way for the list to do a large project like the virtual porch again.  Here's an example,  our local carving club carves Christmas ornaments to decorate a tree every year for the Salem Senior Center.  The Senior Center has an fund raising auction a little before Christmas.  One of the items auctioned off is the tree full of carved ornaments.  

If somebody (Jan) could find an acceptable charity outlet for several theme carvings a project could be done.  Many carvers would participate if they knew where their work was going or at least where any monetary gain from their carving is going.    

This is something that could be discussed just like we did when the virtual porch was created.

Jan:


With the ease of exchanging photos, the virtual porch is an idea of the past, IMHO.

About the Virtual Porch:


The actual porch is dismantled, but most of the carvings survive on the ledge of the wall in front of my computer workstation. I see them every day, and reflect often on the project and the people that participated in it. The chimney is intact, as is the keyboard too. I have fun showing my students the carved keyboard and mouse pad. Classics!!
