I do not know about your area. But it is hard to find young carvers. In my area it is rear to meet a carver under 40 there are a few. I am trying to encourage my grandson to learn. But I think I am loosing the battle to the computer games. After he made the observation that,”Wow Granddad you were board in the first half of the last century”. He noted carvings what you older people do instead of computers games. I guess he is right. Sad though. I ask him what he would do with his time if the power goes out. He said he guessed he have to get a solar panel.
The times, they are a changing!
