Hi Marc My father is a well respected carver specializing in Kwag-Ulth Masks. He is part Metis (mostly white) and has absolutely no Kwag-Ulth heritage. However, he studied under Native carvers, and gained their respect. On the flip side, I have heard stories of native carvers starting out who,...

What's going on here?

Are there any woodcarving clubs in Lancaster County PA that meet on the weekends?

Think you are asking too much. I get a number of mine from Woodcraft at about that price. I see them at shows and most are in that area--get some there as well.

My father in law is in his last days of his life. He has been a carver for years and years, until he could no longer make it up and down the stairs to his basement. He has carved about 50 to 75 carvings over the years. The majority being birds and small animals. The majority stand about 5 " ...

Hi folks. I just discovered that the palm fruits we'd picked (right from the trees) four years ago while we were in angola are actually Doum Palm nuts. We collected about a sackfull of them because they looked pretty and smelled nice as decorations. Anyway, after removing the outer pulp of one, I...
