[Woodcarver] What you all carving?

[Larry Yudis]

Just so I realize that I'm not going completely bonkers, you did move away
to the East Coast for awhile, didn't you?

No Larry, I am not the Jim Williams that USED to belong to the Belleville
club, I am the Jim Williams that STILL belongs to the Belleville club.  I'm
doing fine.  I've missed you coming to our shows.  But it's still nice to
see Carol at the show.  Hope you can come this year.

Hey Jim, Are you the Jim Williams that used to belong to the Belleville, IL
woodcarving club? If so, how you doin'? If not, how you doin' anyway? :o)
The fellow whose post is just below yours is the one to talk to about your
situation. My lil' buddy Joe is "Mr. Mantle" himself. He has carved more
mantles than Mickey has hit home runs! I'm sure he will see your post and
offer his help. Have a Happy Easter Jim and everyone else on the list. He is
Risen! Alleluia! (Note: Aforementioned exclamation is a personal utterance

[Woodcarver] What you all carving? Hi I have been carving for twenty years
and have carved a lot of different things. Lots of Santas and other figures,
Native American busts, relief carvings, etc. But I am about to take on a new
item. I have been asked to carve a basswood mantel piece. It is 6 foot long
and 6 inches thick from top to bottom. The customer wants the entire front
of the mantel carved with a scene that is not yet completely determined.
However, I know that he wants a cabin, mountains in the background, a
stream, several deer, flying ducks, a wolf, trees, etc. I have just started
working with this guy and I am going to have to come up with a final sketch
based on a future discussion of what his priorities are. I feel confident
that I can provide him with a quality product that he will enjoy. My only
real problem is trying to figure out how much to charge him for such a
project. He will provide the mantel, it is already made. I will do the
carving and then stain it, seal it and wax it. I have only carved a few
items on commission so far and could use any help that any one can provide
me to figure out what is a reasonable price. From sample pictures he has
shown me, he wants this carved fairly deep, not just a shallow relief. Any
commments out there? Thanks Jim From: jdillett at thecarvingshop.net To:

Just wondering what you all are carving this days. I just finished carving 3
nails to go on the table with a crown of thorns that I made for an Easter
center piece. I'm also working on an onlay (basket with fruits and nuts) to
go on a 20 by 48-inch panel for a kitchen. Anyone doing anything spring or
Easter related? Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E. LaSalle St. Suite 3
