Hel­lo, Friends in Carving -

As I look out my win­dow, sum­mer is final­ly set­tling in, which means lots more to do out­doors and that many more activ­i­ties to dis­tract you from pick­ing up knife and wood.  Hope­ful­ly, the arti­cles in WOM can in some part inspire you to keep at your art and craft despite the many dis­trac­tions of clement weather.

As many of you know, our friend of many years and long-time WOM con­trib­u­tor “Ol’ Don” Burgdorf recent­ly had suc­cess­ful can­cer surgery.  We wish Ol’ Don a speedy recov­ery and expect we’ll soon see him and Sandie back in the motorhome and on the road to var­i­ous carv­ing events.

At the request of vis­i­tors to the Carvers’ Com­pan­ion home page, the logo graph­ics found there are now click­able links to your par­tic­u­lar are of inter­est, so you may now click on a logo or use the menu bar at the top of the home page.
