Hi Everyone,
My name is David Stanley, I live in Sydney, Australia and am delighted to have joined this forum.
I have begun carving welsh lovespoons (two spoons so far). My carving interests tend toward smaller scale carvings, along with a number of other woodcraft interests. I have done only a little carving so far, but I would contend that welsh lovespoon carving, is according to its historical nature at least, an art that is uniquely meant for beginners.
I have already been inspired by the work I have seen on this forum and have a good hope that my own work can only be improved by exposure to what I see here.
Thank you for the forum, David.
