Donna, I was glad to see they were done without power tools and just carving tools. I also like the fact you sell the whole kit.

</div>Corey- you would find it a lot easier to carve the hummer than your figure carving. I haven't carved many figures, but I can appreciate how difficult it is compared to my birdies and small animals. Putting character in a human is more difficult than getting the lay of feathers or fur correct. Unless we anthopomorphize our animals they usually are lacking in character.<br>
<br>
I'm not going near Iowa soon, but I will be in Massachusetts for the NEWA in June and Minnesota for Carve-Fest in August. Then Kerrville, Texas in October for the TWG. No rest for the wicked- eh? Then again, they are available on my web site if our paths don't cross.<br>
Glad you liked my little excerpts video. It took a lot of time to figure out how to do that- but I wanted to give people an idea of what they were getting before they bought it.<br>
Thanks-<br>
