[Woodcarver] Soap carving

[Joe Dillett]

Greetings fellow carvwers.....
I have a brother that teaches Sp. needs kids in Euless, Tx. (mostly autistic) He is setting up a life needs course for these kids. I sugested that Soap Carving for All Ages would be a wonderful way to teach. The kids would have to make there tools and then carve something for credit and to take hope.He aggreed and NOW it;s my job to get 15 of the books without breaking the bank.
any idead from you folks/?

Hi Charley,

I can't determine, from you note, exactly what 15 books you need? Is the title of the book "Soap Carving For All Ages"?

May I suggest carving sweet potatoes instead of soap. Soap is very messy. Sweet potaotes can be carved easily with a paring knife. Clean up is easy. They can also eat the parts they cut off. Sweet potatoes take on a very unique look after several months of drying and shrinking.
