carving a woodspirit walk

[TurboGirl]

If you don't use your facebook page much, steve, it might be a good place to put your carvings and see how you can spread the good word...its a good way to keep links, pictures, inspiration as well as providing an easily shared contact which. when combined with things you and your clients are interested in, it can become a great resource for all, like Elens pages I used a facebook page for King 4WD, its very handy for info sharing with visuals and detailed descriptions.

You have a freind request on there btw

I notice Hamish uses Etsy to sell stuff, its a nice site for craftspeople and seems to have a better reputation for sellers than the Bay But the facebook might be better as a visual 'CV' to get in more of this high profile commission work!

Still really interested to know the tools to upscale your carving like this
