Re: Use for scrap wood
I carve little hillbilly men and women. Also, it use those pieces of wood when working with Boy and Cub Scouts on the their knife safety and wood carving badges for the Boy Scouters.

Safety, the enjoyment.
Kenny SSafety first, then enjoy carving! Ken Caney, Ks

How did you copy the patterns 10 years ago? What has changed?...-
