Joe Dillett: jdillett@thecarvingshop.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. |

it!). I live in Decatur, GA with my daughter Morgan who's in high school
and a beginning chip carver. I have carved off and on for 8 years,
mostly in the round, though I learned to chip carve a lifetime ago. Like
Terry, I'm a former Marine, though these days I'm a legal secretary.Ask
me if there is anything else you want to know... JAArms@aol.com |
