10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>All righty I'll open up a discussion if
you'd all like to help me out a bit<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName>
This year will be my first year of formal teaching at a woodcarving roundup<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> This is basically a free class but I can
charge for the wood blank<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName>
What I would like to teach is an introduction to classical carving
which really isn't being offered much at any of the roundups<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> Classical carving, just to clarify things,
means some tool specific carving<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName>
This means minimizing the use of the stop cut and emphasizing either a veiner
or v-tool to cut around and outline, chisels and shallow gouges for grounding out
and gouges for doing rounding, the sweep of the gouges matching the curve of
the carving, rather than whittling away with any tool till you get what shape
you want<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> No power tools in
this class<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> I will be touching
on the history of carving and an explanation of the sheffield numbering system
and some advanced carving techniques, but imparting t hat knowledge during the
course of the day rather than giving a boring lecture<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName>
People in my class will range from beginners to intermediates<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> I want to do a classical style relief
carving which can be finished by most in roughly 6 hours of carving<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> My original ideas were to do either, grapes
and leaves, an acanthus leaf design or a traditional shell carving<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName><st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName><st1:PersonName
w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> first which design would you be more interested in
doing and why<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName> Would you
rather the design already be on the wood or should I make my students transfer
the pattern lines themselves? Would you find this class
interesting? Any else you can think of would be great and
all suggestions will help alot<st1:PersonName w:st="on">.</st1:PersonName>
