[Woodcarver] Instruction/Tools/Suggestions requested

[Rick Johnson]

The response has been wonderful...thank you very much!

Rich, I will send you my address as well...another carver also responded 
by offering to send me a couple knives. I can't believe how blessed I am 
with how wonderful you all are...with the notes of encouragement and 
offers of support...

I knew it was a long shot, but I was hoping to get at least a couple of 
knives for them...and if there are extras, I have at least one more 
person that wanted to try a hand at carving, too...and any extra stuff I 
get, I will just "pay it forward" as I am able.

Thank you all again!!!! Hmmm...maybe I should do a church project with 
wood carving??? Now I am starting to get a bit ambitious.  :-)
