Mike Huber; I live in Milwaukee with my wife and
our four kids, an exchange student from Japan, two regular cats and four foster
cats. I've been carving for about the last five (hard to tell exactly when I
started) of my 38 years. I write manuals and help files for software to pay for
the luxury of carving without worrying about selling.

wildfowl carving very rapidly. Vic now competes at the professional and
world class levels. He retired from Sherwin-Williams Co. in June, 1998

Craig Watson; I am a 58 year old (married 40
years) father of two who have made me a grand father of four in the last
16 years. Married to a wetback Norweigian who does Rosemalling
professionally (that means she gets big bucks for her work) She also
does NOT like lutefisk. I have been carving about four years and my
interest varies from chainsaw carving to minatures. I like to carve
mamals and other things that come from my very own halucinations. My
most favorite carving is a wolfalope I saw and cut down in the far north
of Island Park, Minn. Check my web page for some of the painting and
carving done by the two of us.

Hi, I'm Marcie Moore. I live in Northern
Illinois with my 2 silver persians. I have a son and daughter whom are
now grown and live on their own. Ever since I can remember I've always
loved art in some form... from knitting to doll making, decorative
painting to quilting there hasn't been much I haven't tried. Wood
carving had intrigued me for a long time... then one cold, lonely
evening in January '99 I found my way (via the internet) to the Wood
Carver's Porch!! I was welcomed with open arms, helpful advice, and a
barrage of "blonde jokes"! LOL!! I was fortunate enough to
live close to porch member Joe Dillett, so on 3 consecutive Mondays in
February I took my first classes. I have since taken classes with Harley
Refsal, Becky Lusk, Alf Stronen, and hope to take many more. "The
Porch" is now my home away from home and... *I* survived the GPO
1999!!!! ) http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=24793
