Welcome to the Woodcarver Resource Files. These pages contain a wealth of carving-related information from the pages of Woodcarver Online Magazine and from web sites maintained by the world wide community of amateur and professional carvers, woodcarving organizations and vendors. Information from these sources, as well as the many contributors to WOM is gratefully acknowledged.

The Resource Files are a continuing work-in-progress; accordingly, suggestions for additional material are always welcome. Please send suggestions and broken link reports to: womeditorATcomcastDOTnet(Replace AT and DOT with appropriate symbols.)

As always, your comments and questions are welcome. Matt Kelley, Editor
