July 21 -- Jim Jolliffe will do a program on carving the human face and human form. Jim is one of the Club's carving mentors and hosts the monthly Carvers workshop. |
The highlight of last month's meeting
was that Dick Wollam is mentioned several times and a photo of
one of his award-winning carvings appears in the latest addition
of Chip Chats. This photo shows Dick hard at work adding detail
to the soaring eagle project. |
