"Teaching A Carving Class" An Ornamental Sunflower.

Every time I see your work I get the urge to run out and buy some carving equipment. I always love to see your work. thanks.

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

If I were in Omaha I would take your class. But as it is I guess I would just copy your sunflower.

What wood did you use?

So there’s no sanding involved as shown by the pictures, I’m gonna have to try that. I also noticed that you use a paper template and carve through it, do you have to put down another piece of paper on top after each carving stroke? Great job and congrats my friend on teaching others, but then you’ve been teaching us all for awhile now. I hope you know the questions were a bit of dry humor, I picture you reading this and shaking your head, saying ” is Dan serious?”

-- Dan Wiggins

goodness….I wish I could attend!

Perhaps one day, when my schedule allows. Hope you have an enjoyable experience

Dennis it is good to hear you are going to start teaching. It is a wonderful way to take your woodworking skills to a new level and to share your skills with others. I hope this is just the beginning for you and may you enjoy each and everyday. Is there more classes in the future?

-- Follow your passion, and success will follow you.

I can only repeat what others have said, If I only lived closer.

That looks like a very nice project for a beginner Dennis.

Have fun!!

Looks like a project your students will like. I hope you enjoy teaching. You will surely have motivated students and that should make it especially rewarding.
