I am now teaching woodcarving classes in my studio as well as other venues. The current schedule is listed on our classes page on this web site.
The list is linked here for whereever is convenient or sounds irresistable to you.

I also have a class scheduled at the Woodcraft store on Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell May 18th, 21st, and 22nd, 2009. This will be a beginning carving class on Celtic knots. The class listings begin on this link to their web page.

Four pictures of boxes follow that I carved out of basswood. They were commissioned by the Queen of Meridies in the SCA reenactment group. Their purpose is to hold the crowns in transit.

The box style is a simple construction, 9th century, 6-sided box. The front is hand carved and painted or stained. The finish is hand rubbed tung oil and then waxed. They are used in SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) re-enactment as event boxes most often. It is a perfect way to hide things like cameras, wallets, and other 21st century items out of site while having a handy stool or table top.
