[Woodcarver] Finish for cottonwood bark carving

[Larry & Naomi Winders]

Good Morning Loren,

I briefly spoke to Larry, yesterday................................look at
me calling him Larry, like, I have known him for years and I have never met
the man. He seems like a really nice guy very friendly over the phone. I
brought the brush on Woodcraft's web site, some time ago. I started using
the brush and several hairs not a clump but several hairs came loose while
I was using the brush so I stopped using the brush. I put the brush up and
have not used in 5 to 6 years. Now I want to use the brush and now I have
to figure out where I put the brush..............not easy being a Senior
citizen for sure. Thank you so much for e-mailing with your comments about
bark finish and the brush, I really do appreciate your response. To bad I'm
not closer I would try a take a class from you. Oh, I mentioned to Mr.
Yudis, yesterday about some of the hairs coming loose from the brush while
I was using it. I detected a little concern from him I think, He said maybe
should be addressed. I told him I had a brush for a few years. So if you
chat with him please don't mention my comments to him about the brush. I
don't want him to think I'm saying anything bad about him or his products.
I think he an okay guy.  I hope this isn't to wordy for you. Have a really
great and blessed day.  Oops, don't suppose you have a web site I could
look at. Might be able to get some ideals. No carvers where I live here in
North Eastern New Mexico .................................yes we are a
state.
Ha ha, have a great and safe day
Larry,
Alias..... Newly
