Hi All,

I haven't written to my blog in about 4 years. I'm a carver not a writer. It seems that time has flown by, I'm still carving, I have carved over 2300 carvings and have sold over 1600 carvings since I started carving in 1991. I have carvings in 37 different states, and 6 different countries. I never would have guessed that this would happen when I first started carving.

I am definitely not the best caricature carver there is, and probably never will be, there are people out there who have real talent, real artistic abilities, they are naturals. I'm not that way, I've had to work hard at becoming as good of a carver as I am so far, I won't ever be great but I sure do enjoy what I'm doing.

I've talked to many people about trying woodcarving and I always hear the same thing, "I have no artistic ability". Well I'm one of those people, I had no artistic ability, but I worked at it and slow but sure I got better. I got lessons from one of the best caricature carvers in the world, Pete LeClair, he lives about 10 miles from me. He told me he had no artistic ability, and he is great. So he has been my inspiration. He has shown me the basics, it just takes a little work.

That's it for today,
Scott
