| Cal Walters Cal is from Slinger, WI, and spends his winters in Arizona. He initially became interested in woodcarving about 18 years ago when he wanted to use carving as a means to decorate furniture. Woodcarving soon became his main interest, and it was only about 2 years ago that he finally decorated several furniture pieces with carving. Cal has taught at woodcarving clubs in Wisconsin, Florida and Arizona and at various seminars around the country including the Texas Woodcarvers Guild’s spring seminars, War Eagle, Arkansas’s annual seminar, and Evart, Michigan’s Woodcarvers Roundup. Cal is active in several carving clubs and is always ready to help new carvers get started. Cal will be teaching relief Christmas ornaments. He offers over 25 different patterns to choose from. Each ornament has its own basswood storage/display box which can also be carved. The patterns range from simple to detailed and provide a good selection for the beginning to advanced carver. The ornaments are carved with the usual assortment of gouges, V-tools, and a sharp knife. Painting and finishing guidelines will also be provided |
