Thanks! It's been an incredible journey.
SAPFM is where I first found a carving "home". I was sort of a fish out of water at the carving clubs and carving shows - it just never seemed to gel. The carvings that were there were incredible - the details of the birds, animals, charicatures, etc., but I always felt that I didn't really fit - something was amiss.
Then I discovered that there were people out there who were truly interested in decorative carvings - the kind I have always loved. Well, as I said - I found "Home".
