[Woodcarver] Time Machine Journey

[Donna Menke]

Hans-
I went to your web site and looked at some of your work as well as your current blog. Super- all of it. Where in Texas do you live? I'm just South of Austin. Your dog carving is super. 10" high is a good size. Keeping mine to 6" long was difficult, but to sit on a mantel it was the right size.
Since those sculptors didn't work in wood I didn't consider them as contenders for wood carvers- though their work is amazing. Just thinking about the Pieta's composition can give me goosebumps. I'd put Rodin in there too if we were including all sculptors.
