This will be a SIX DAY CLASS starting on Sunday. The main project this year will be a Rattlesnake Cane or Walking Stick from a 3” aspen stick.  Both will be roughed out in advance so that you can focus on the snake. If you wish to do either of these please contact me ASAP so that I can prepare your blank. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 6-DAY SEMINAR BEGINNING ON SUNDAY & ENDING ON FRIDAY!  George will be offering a 6-day design & carve class.  Do you have an idea for a carving & need a cutout or don't know where to start?  George will assist you in designing your project.  George will furnish you with a blank.  Do you need help on a project you started and now want to finish it?  This is the class for you!  When you sign up for the Seminar, you will need to contact George ASAP, so  you & George have plenty of time to design your project. This class is limited to eight students, so you will receive lots of help along the way.  Or if you like, you can choose a project from various blanks that George has available, e. g. fish, bears, Santa, flowers & more.

Open Design & Carve projects: We take your idea and design and carve the piece. Almost all of the projects above can be done in Basswood or Butternut.  If you intend to power carve or power sand, a dust collector is mandatory.  This will be discussed during the design stage. Also bring along a wood burner.  Class fee is $200 for six days of class.  Blanks cost will depend on the blank you choose for you project & will include all needed supplies materials.
