Beginning Carving
Mike will teach a basic, 2-day, beginning carving Seminar on Saturday & Sunday during the Show/Sale. This is a super Seminar, and a must, if you are just getting started in carving or have carved for only a short time. The Seminar will cover carving knives, safety, use and selection of other (U & V) tools, sharpening, character eyes and hair, sanding and finishing (painting). Students will carve one or more small projects to learn basic knife cuts, learn to work with wood grain, and select projects ranging in very easy to more challenging. Students should have a carving project finished or nearly finished by the end of the Seminar. Mike asks that you bring a carving knife and a carving glove if you have one or bring what you have.
