 Jud Hindes: Owner of the Wood Carvers Porch Mailing List.
Jud started whittling in 1967, and continued with a dull knife for many
years, inspired by M C Escher, and E J Tangerman. In 1980-83 he studied
art with Knox Martin in NYC, and life has never been the same, nor his
carvings! Three term President of New England Wood Carvers, Carver of
the Year in 92, many awards and articles, and owner of the Porch list,
now, he mostly talks! eJUD@go.com

I'm 55,
married to my very understanding wife, Sharon for 34 years. We have 2
children and 4 grandchildren. I've been in the carving business over 26
years, mostly part-time. I carve almost anything but most of my business
is fireplace mantels, church and architectural carvings, and patterns
for different industries. I love talking to my fellow carvers and never
plan to retire. http://www.thecarvingshop.com/ |
 Terry Nees: msgtusmc@swbell.net Been carving(whittling) about 9 years. No particular specialty as long as it doesn't have to be realistic. Retired from US Marines in 1981 and then had to work for a living. Retired with disability in 1997. Worked as a mainframe computer programmer/trouble shooter for about 35 years. Love animals. In fact, that's what I carve mostly. Want to learn caricature carving if I ever get the time. |
