I'm excited to teach my first carving class this Saturday. Students will learn how to make a sunflower like this one from basswood. These photos show the different steps of carving.


I'm very excited to be teaching my first carving class, starting on Saturday, May 15th. I was asked by Gerry Phelan the owner of, Midwest Woodworkers, a well known woodworking store here in Omaha, Nebraska.

There will be 5 students in the class. Which is the maxim that his class room will hold. That’s good for me, any more then that would be difficult to teach them effectively.

The class will be a beginners class on, "Architectural Ornamental carving."

The size of the Sunflower is 3/4” x 5 1/4” x 5 1/4” Carved out of Basswood. Thank you for looking.
