The key to woodcarving, as in everything else, is practice. Practice, Practice, Practice. An ancient Chinese woodcarver once said "you'll have to carve 1000 faces before you feel confident in your ability". Whether it's 1000 or 100, there is truth in the saying.
Newer woodcarvers should not be discouraged from joining and participating in these projects. It is a great way to gain experience and in kinda forcing yourself to get better and better. It's also a great way to get some really nice woodcarvings. But as in any swap or exchange, if you do sign on to participate, remember that you have a responsibility to complete the effort.
For any woodcarvers that are interested, there is an ongoing effort on Woodcarving Illustrated Message Board. http://woodcarvingillustrated.com

WOW, you didn't tell us you had an article in print! That's fantastic!
Thanks for posting these great pictures Tom. I just can't think of a greater project than a bunch of good folks coming together on this... and especially a bunch of folks that you don't personally know. When I get a little more time on my hand I'd love to join y'all on one.
