Carving Classes in Grand Marais, Minnesota

I taught a couple of carving classes at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais, Minnesota. L-R Wayne Hensche, Tim Nyberg, Eric Herfendal, Roger Mitchell and John McCormick.
The North House is a great place to take classes as it is located on Lake Superior right next to camp ground and within walking distance to town. L-R David Brensiger, Larry Piety, Leonard Forss, Mark Eyler, and Tim Nyberg. Students were from Georgia, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Hawaii. (yes the fellow from Hawaii is a surfer)


David Brensiger (Georgia) carves a Scandinavian woman in one day.


David Bressiger and Larry Piety carve a Scandinavian man (Ole)on the second day after carving the woman (Lena) the first day.


Above are pictured the finished products after day one. Aren't these some good looking old Scandinavian women?
