Nationally known carvers, Phil & Vickie Bishop taught again in Salt Lake City last month.Students chose from over 40 rough-outs for this 3 day class. Many of the rough-outs were from Phil & Vickie’s new designs for this year. The students represented a wide range of skill levels but everyone finished their projects - including painting.
Before heading back to Elk City, OK., they scheduled a return visit next spring. Class will be held on April 24, 25 and 26, 2009. Tuition and location to be announced early 2009.

Ellis Olson Santa Class - November 21 and 22, 2008

Ellis Olson is well known for his carved Santa collection. I took my first carving class from Ellis and have enjoyed his friendship and knowledge over the years. I am happy to sponsor Ellis once again for a 2 day class.
Ellis will teach a variety of his miniature designs including several new projects added this year.
Tuition and location will be announced soon. Class size will be limited. If you are interested, email dale@dalegreenwoodcarving.com to be placed on the preliminary registration list.

Thought for the day:

In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson,

“The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.”

Chip Tip:

When Phil & Vickie were in Salt Lake last month they stayed at my home. Phil was looking at my carvings (Talk about pressure! ) and noticed the colors had faded. Here is Phil’s solution for restoring the color to your carvings.

Brush on a coat of Watco satin finishing wax and allow to dry for 10-15 minutes. Wipe off the excess with a soft cloth and let dry for one hour. Brush with a soft shoe brush and watch your painted carving come back to life. If desired, let dry overnight and spray with clear satin spray. I used the Krylon brand with good results.
