[Woodcarver] Winter Wood Wonders Show ...

[Joe Dillett]

Thanks for the show promo Big Dog. I'm looking forward to it and seeing you 
there. I'm packing up and ready to leave Puerto Vallarta here tomorrow. I'll 
be arriving in Chicago late tomorrow night, so won't be setting up until 
Saturday morning. It'll be nice seeing you and everyone there. This is one 
of the most exciting shows in the area and has a great cause making it even 
better.

See you all there.

> elbows with some very notable carvers.

>

> JR Cadawas will be there with a vast assortment of his work.  He is the 

> very

> talented carver who can carve quicker than anyone I've ever seen.  He has

> been known to carve a large (4' x 3') Last Supper scene in relief in 4 

> days,

> start to finish!  He will have a new work titled "American Heroes" that he

> carved just for this show in honor of our veterans.
