Would you accept a 10 grade student in your class from Le Jardin Academy? He has minimal wood carving experience (scout carving merit badge) but is eager to learn. As he is hapa-Hawaiian he chose this as his 10th grade school product.

Aloha,

Where are you located, and what are the credentials of the wood carving instructor? I have a BA in art with many years of experience in art, illustration, and stone carving. Honolulu, Hawaii is my home.

Mahalo,

Howard Lee

Aloha mai kākaou e nā hoa kālai,

I am Eddie Fuentes Jr, the aforementioned wood carving instructor, and am a third-generation wood worker and I live and work in Kāneʻohe, Oʻahu. I am a student of Kumu Jordan Souza who is a student of Kumu Cioci Dalire who learned from his kumu before him. As the original post had initially opened, we are indeed located at Windward Community College, Hale ʻIolani Room 117. We embrace all of our papa kālai as integral parts of the Hawaiian Studies program at WCC, and as such we formulate curriculum for both our credit and non-credit students from a Hawaiian perspective. Our credit classes are taught in a combination of English and Hawaiian; our non-credit classes are conducted this semester in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. We welcome all students, so please come visit us during the week if you would like to see our facilities and meet our staff. For credit classes, please seek out the main Windward CC website. Please review the Windward CCE Art website for more information on enrollment in our non-credit courses.

me ka mahalo nō,
-Eddie Fuentes Jr.

Thanks for writing such a good article on Wood carving topic. I am looking to try these tips from Wood carving topic or my website birchi.in People always try direct method but most of time these trick don't works. Your tips are helpful for the person to make good blog posting for their websites or blog. Wood carving is a good business for free people have spare time.

I would like a basic introduction course to wood working. The use of basic tools and dremel and others. Every web site I visit is very dated.
