Wood Carving – Jim Brogdon

This class is for wood carvers of all levels. The class will begin with lessons on the tools and on tool safety. Fordoms and dremels will be used in class. If you have a favorite woodcarving tool, you are welcome to bring it to class with you. All necessary tools will be provided to the class for their use. We will start carving a wood spirit from a rough out (precarved) pine knot. When this is completed you may carve a wood spirit from a non-roughed-out pine knot, walking stick or cypress knee. There will be a $25 class fee, which includes one roughed-out pine knot. Additional wood for carving spirits may be purchased. Applying a finish onto the wood product will also be demonstrated. You may spend up to $100 purchasing additional wood or materials needed for carving. Interested students can call Jimmy at 305-304-9015 or e-mail him at: jimmysgems@gmail.com
