Beginning Bird Carving with Bob Lund

We are thrilled to offer participants this very special opportunity. Bob Lund, President of the Ohio Decoy Carvers & Collectors Association, has graciously agreed to teach a two part bird carving workshop for us. In part one, Bob will help us get acquainted with the tools and techniques of carving and then we’ll try our hand at carving a lovely feather.  Part two takes place on November 15th (after we’ve all promised to practice) and we’ll carve a lovely Black–necked Stilt. Bob will provide some resources to help us hone our skills before we come back in November. Please click here for the flyer and registration form for more information.
