I've been getting ready for the GOW which startes on Monday. It will be
different not having it here at my shop. It's growing larger every year. This
year we have 17 awesome instructors plus myself. There's a lot of stuff I have
to take to the Sandwich Fair Grounds, where we moved the GOW. We still have room
for more. Come and join us. You do not have to sign up early, just come,
register and jump into a class. Check it out at

Last week was the Sandwich Fair. My apprentices and I had a large display booth
where we demonstrated from Wednesday through Sunday. I began working on a large
relief (24 X 60) of the Last Supper. It is all one piece of mahogany that was
lumbered out by hand with a chain saw about 20 years ago. The fellow who
lumbered it out was very skilled. The thickness ranged only from 2-1/4 to 1-3/4
over the entire 76-inch length. A missionary brought it back from Guatemala and
gave it to me about 5 years ago. It had only a slight bow before I began.
Carving the background from the heart side, to about a 1-inch depth, has removed
all the bow. I plan to keep the chainsaw marks on the back to preserve the
history of the board.
 
Normally my Last Supper scenes include the backdrop of the upper room. On this
one the figures are raised from the background about 1 inch and I plan to carve
faces of modern-day saints and modern-day people in shallow relief throughout
the entire background.

Weather to nice, I guess people are working in the yards.  I'm learning to
chainsaw carve, got a Makita 12" chainsaw made of carving and having lots of fun
making chips.  Getting ready to do my first crafts fair in 10 years, building up
carving and scrollsaw crafts inventory.
