Bob Mau enjoys carving faces, He finds it amazing to watch a face emerge out of a block of wood. Bob  
has been carving since 1979. He teaches classes at Woodcraft,  various park districts around the Chicago
area, and the annual Gathering of Wood Carvers in Somonauk Illinois. He still works a full time job in the
day and Carving is not just a hobby but a relaxing passion.
Most students in any class will Remember only 25 % of what they hear the first time they take a class. This
class we will be carving a study stick on carving parts of the Face . You will leave the class with a step by
step reminder of carving eyes. The study stick should enable you to remember the basic steps to carving  
long after the class is over. In addition the 2nd part of the class will be blocking out the face which includes
putting in the nose preparing the dental area, and preparing the eyes.
