They are November 3, 2008; September 1, 2010; and September 10, 2010. The last one is a short video that shows some tips for beginners. Wayne Barton, who taught me chip carving, is a master. I highly recommend his books, knives, and stones.

She did a great job of explaining the process and demonstrating the technique. You two have a lot in common that way. I love your progress update posts, keep em coming.
