What I Did In A Figure Carving Class With Tony Laier!

[CarvedOn]

I took a figure carving class yesterday at Ken's Tandy Leather in Phx! I had a great time and this is the result. He is not dyed yet. Just had to share this one. I am going to the Wickenburg show this afternoon. I went to High School in Wickenburg.

Nice looking picture, you did a really good job on him/her/it. Did Tony teach any of his dyeing techniques to the class? He is a very good instructor and I wish that I could take more lessons from him.

Tony didn't have time to teach much about dying. He did give us a few tips that I will use. He is a great teacher and his wife is so sweet.

I hear bison can be very mean with little warning stamped or not! I will post another pic after it is dyed.

Tony showed us some of his flower carvings and the color was beautiful. He also showed us a bucking horse and cowboy that was great. He said Tandy was working on making all of their past patterns available on the internet and some of them would be free. We were all excited to hear that! I have collected some pretty old patterns that I want to try.

Oooooh, free patterns! It would be nice to be able to pick up some of Tandy's past patterns, even for a price; which I'm sure won't break the bank. I've seen a lot of good things come out of Tandy since they re-opened their stores and got back into business again.
