Youth Students - in no particular order....
I have seven young lads who have being taking classes for the past few years and are becoming quite good.
They do 98% of the work themselves......I just put the pencil lines on.....to help them shape the carving.

These are my "Group of Seven".
They eat, sleep and inhale carving...and it shows in their work..
