[Woodcarver] Invite to the GOW

[m.bloomquist]

Joe,

 

Thank You for the invite.  It means a lot.  I don't see me being able to
range out that far in the near future, but if the invite doesn't have an
expiration date on it <G>.

 

Keep on Carvin'

Hi Chuck and Mike, 

 

That's an great sound you got Chuck. There are not many carvings that we can
listen too that sound so good. Thanks for sharing.

 

Mike, great teaching job and a great project. Any chance that we might get
you to teach at the GOW sometime?

Hey Chuck, thanks for the plug.  Gotta say though, it's humbling to the
teacher when the student exceeds them. both in playing and in construction
<G>.  You'll have to describe to me what helped the volume like that, so I
can use it in future classes.  Don't have that problem with my flute classes
where we carve them from wood, but that's one of the reasons I enjoy
volunteering at the NEWR...  every once in a while I teach something that
for me is brand new (like female wood spirits or N.A. style flutes from
river cane), and get to work the kinks out of it.  The other "beny" is that
I usually learn as much from my students as they learn from me.

 

If anyone is familiar with the New England Woodcarvers Retreat, this is one
of the classes I was scheduled to teach.  Had to cancel this year, but they
said they forgave me and have me penciled in for next year.  It will
definitely be on my list for the next NEWR as well as the Retreat. Using
river cane made it possible to teach in a one day class. That idea was
thanks to Don Dearolf who attended by N.A. style Flute tuning demo the year
before.  Like I said. I learn a lot from my students.

So - I don't pipe up on here very often sitting in lurk mode most of the
time. But I wanted to submit a post recommending Mike's NA Flute in bamboo
class should he ever offer it again at NEWR. I had the pleasure of being one
of Mike's guinea pigs for his first time teaching this class at this last
NEWR. Although we ran into some roadblocks trying to get tuning and the
online software used to layout the finger holes straight, it was a very
enjoyable class and I was very happy with the way my flute turned out. If
you're interested I've made a couple posts about it with a YouTube video of
me playing it in my blog here: http://woodsmythsmuse.blogspot.com/
 
In addition, I have a post about the Traditional Woodcarving class my wife
Theresa and I took with Maura.  Also highly recommended!
 
Cheers!
ChuckT
