[Woodcarver] CarveWright

[Bob Mau]

I saw one at the local sears store. no demonstration just sitting on the
shelf. At the $1995 price tag I suspect that they won't move that fast
unless they Demo them So people can see them in action. If sears was smart
they would hire a few wood carvers to demo them locally, to drum up some
interest. $1995 is still a little steep could buy a lot of gouges with that.

Folks
Did anyone see the advertisement on TV for The CarveWright from Sears?
If not, here is the website and a demonstration movie.  Price tag from the
ad was around $1995

It would appear that this is the way folks can do relief carving quickly.
IMHO, I think it will be a big seller, since it makes (CNC Computer
Numerical Control) available for the home handyman.  The demo carving is
pretty detailed.

Philosophically, I am not sure what it will do to promote the appreciation
for those who provide that art and discipline of carving by hand.  
If these take off and a lot of carvings start appearing maybe a renaissance
in the manual arts will be an outfall. Perhaps people will gain an
appreciation for the fine workmanship of those who carve by hand.  One can
only pray that it does :)

Blessings and Peace.
