One of the most impressive sites Ol' Don has found, for content and design, belongs to fellow carver and friend DONALD MERTZ. You'll be impressed as you peruse all his site has to offer. From his "whittle folk" carvings to the teaching aids you'll be fascinated.

Friends PHIL & VICKI BISHOP are two of the best when it comes to teaching the traditional look in carved caricatures. Visit their site for a wide selection of original Bishop caricature roughouts for your next carving project.

If they don't have it, you don't need it!! Larry and Carol's WOODCRAFT SHOP carries the most complete inventory of tools and materials that Ol' Don has ever seen, no matter what skill level or type of carving you're interested in. Whether by mail order or a visit their store in Bettendorf, Iowa, "Big Dog" and "Miss Carol" will treat you right.
