Clark Weaver and Bob Kroese shared their experiences at the Ward show. They talked about some of the great carvers from all over the world that they have met there. Both had albums if pictures they have taken which they use as reference material when they carve. They take many pictures from every angle of birds they like. The pictures also assist with mounting ideas. They brought some carvings and answered many questions from us. Both of these excellent carvers say they got their start in carving competition at our show.
