Project Information
I have been a member of lumberjocks for a little over 2 ½ years now. I have had the honor of seeing so many different projects posted and they have always been an inspiration to me. I have always wanted to try and make something out of wood but had no clue where to begin. Just this week Dennis Zongker suggested that I try one of his carving classes, "Architectural Ornamental Carving" my thoughts were, I don't know which end of a carving knife to use, what if I cut myself and so on…. I have always admired his work and have watched him design, engineer, and build so many different projects. I figured if he was my teacher what could I lose? So, I said sure I will give it a try.
Well, I was so nervous when I got to his class I thought how in the world am I going to carve a flower when I have never done anything in woodworking except watch? I was amazed by the end of the class that I had a flower… and I did it. It may not be the nicest one and it has a lot of flaws but I am so proud of my little flower and I wanted to share it with everyone here.
