I was first introduced to carving while vacationing in Florida. Two carvers - Joe Demski carved award winning fish and Dick O'Donnell carved a variety of things including hummingbirds. Joe taught me how to carve my first Santa ornament and Dick taught me how to carve and wood burn a hummingbird. WOW - was I hooked - and this is the result. God Bless those two friends for introducing me to this wonderful hobbie!
