COASTAL CARVERS MEETING by
I... M
WOW, what a large group you have. The carvings are so varied and
unusual. Very nice indeed.
I have been dabbling in carving since the 50's but have never tried

large stones.
Thanks

has been going downhill for a long time. Maybe with new blood we can

Wally
I've never done any wood carving before, but I'd like to give it a go. I've
had a couple of lumps of wood lying in my garage for nearly a year, and I'm

I know I should probably spend a small fortune on...

carving wheel for grinder? by

Hi all,
Some time back I recall seeing an accessory that was basically a
chainsaw blade made to fit onto a hand grinder. I've been searching all
over the web, but can't seem to find it. Any pointers would be much
appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
On Sunday I bought a small piece of cottonwood bark at the New England
Woodcarver's annual Spirit of Wood show. Nice show, by the way!

Beginners Knife?? by
Jim Warren
I am a pocket-knife whittler and would like to move up to more serious
carving. My interest is 3 dimensional figure carving. If you were to buy

Thanks for the advice

CHEAPEST way to carve and then polish a tiny sample of malachite. I want
