You are so right. There has been a huge increase in quality work with everyone here. Not that my work is raising the bar by any means, but I do find myself thinking about the work with more intensity and taking my time on the cuts. I find this intimacy with the piece comes through in the end. Many thanks to Ben for personally visiting my workshop and giving tips. Also to the Tiki Jam attendees. It's always great to have a group of carvers in one place sharing ideas and techniques.

I would suggest to anyone to host a carving day. It's fun and you get to meet great people who share a passion for the same thing you do. Thus everyones work comes out better.
