Woodcarvers Web resources

It's saturday night and instead of working I am here on TC.
After reading most of the old carving threads I noticed that there are always Questions being asked by all of us.
So I started to google search and look for woodcarving sites . Here are a few of the many I found.
Most of these are directory's to other Sites.

If you have a good site or info please add it, or pm me and I can add it the this post.
