Title: Really skilled carver required
Post by: The Bowler Hatted Turner on January 17, 2018, 08:45:47 PM

I have been asked to look at making a carving to replace one that has been stolen from a chapel. My first question is do we have any really skilled carvers in our group? If so please PM me. Secondly how do you price a carving? by the square inch perhaps? but what if it is in the round? Thoughts appreciated.
