Woodcarving Classes
Choose from a wide selection of caricature rough outs – Cowboys, Soldiers, Mountain Men, Gnomes, Hillbillies, Hobos, Santas, Wizards and many more! Rough outs range from $15 to $30 so, get ready to turn that block of wood into a “prized possession”! Roger puts a special focus on the eyes and facial features, his instruction provides a strong foundation for both beginner and advanced carvers. Bring your tools and a carving glove and get ready to “keep those chips flying!”
This year, Roger will be teaching woodcarving classes at the following venues.
