[Woodcarver] [SPAM] Re: Greetings, introduction, and a question or two

Chris Pye is the best suggestion I've heard so far the man knows
woodcarving. Anyone that can reproduce Grinling Gibbons work is a Master
Woodcarver with proven credentials.

Chris Pye's introduction to relief carving is very thorough.

     Hello all,

     My name is Floyd Brigdon and I am a new subscriber to the list.
     I have played with power carving for a while and a couple of months ago
seriously started trying to teach myself to carve with it. I had just gotten
to the point where I was really enjoying myself when, a little over a week
ago, the Dremel died.
     In an effort to get me to stop pouting, my wife bought me an
introductory set of Flexcut tools (I love that woman) and something that I
never dreamed of happened: I am now addicted to the idea of learning
traditional tools, as well.
     I am mostly interested in learning relief carving (figural relief
mostly, though landscapes are appealing too) and lettering, but am willing
to learn anything that will help me better my carving skills with power and
with traditional tools.
     I live about twenty minutes east of Dallas (in Terrell) and I have not
been able to locate anyone through the couple of stores I frequent to teach
me relief carving.
     Is there anyone on the list who might know of a relief carving teacher
in the Dallas area?
     In lieu of that, what are the best resources for someone wanting to
learn relief carving? I already own the "Relief Carving in a Different
Light" DVD from Flexcut and already plan on getting Mr. Judt's books ASAP,
but what other resources should I consider.
     Though I am brand new to this hobby, I am very excited about being here
and about having the opportunity to learn from you all and getting to know
you.
     Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

      Floyd Brigdon
