I was amazed at your artwork. I am a tole painter/decorative art painter among other areas of art work, but have never carved a single thing, but I think about it, and I would love to give it a go, as my eyesight is not as good as it used to be, and I lo e the feel of my work. Yours is the first place I have ever looked at in the carving arena. I was very impressed, and I just want to carve something, even if it isn't that good, I feel I can maybe grow in that area if I give it a try. I think I will ge some books in the library maybe if there are any and see what I need to get started on just a simple project. Take care, and keep up the lovely work. God Bless!

You do wonderful work!! You do alot of the same things as I do. We will have to get together and share ideas! Your painting is really done well. I especially like what you did on the relief scene! But the Santas have alot of character too. I couldn' get your Blue Bird to come in close--but it is sure beautiful and so small! Keep up the great work! Tricia

Hi Chris, I too am a wood carver, and primarily do songbirds. I am going to ATTEMPT to do the santa carvings, and was impressed with the santa eggs you did. I live out in the "sticks" of Washington State, so there aren't many folks around to give me pointers. Once gain, I most certainly enjoyed seeing your work.

Your work is beautiful. There used to be a carver that lived just behind us. His name was Bo, he was also a Church of Christ minister. I don't remember his name. I believe he moved to Arizona around 1996. He carved some at Silver Dollar City. If you know his name, could you please e-mail me with it. Again, I think your work is wonderful.

Hi Chris, I think i gave you my wrong email address. My wife keeps changing server's so i can't keep up with her. Would love to correspond with you when you have time. I live in Fairborn, Ohio. I go to the artistry in wood at Hara Arena in NOV. i really enjoy i . I am looking for somebody to bounce ideas or just talk in general about carving and techniques. I use a box knife for all my carvings, a razor blad knife used to cut lineolium. I have a regular carving knife but don't like to sharpen it, lazy i gues . I use plain old acrylics i would really like to get a good process to antique items but havn't come up with any as yet. I have been getting ready to sell some things for Christmas. I am retired from the Air Force and have plenty of time to carve. Will i will let you go for now. If you have time visit my site and give me your feed back. Your things are much better than mine but i enjoy doing them. Take care Chris and i sure would like to hear from you in the future. Write when you have time, Jerry
