Any carvers out there in the WNC/ETN areas

[TNMIKE]

I have always wanted to try chainsaw carving and was hoping there was a carver near me that might give me some pointers. Im not looking to get into this in any commercial way. Strictly for my own knowledge and enjoyment.

Thanks

I knew I was holding this business card in my wallet for 6 months for some reason lol. www.wildwoodoriginals.com. Cliff Garen is his name. He is out of Greenville, TN. I met him briefly at the Bele Chere festival here in Asheville this past summer. Seemed like a really nice guy. We got interupted when someone (most likely drunk considering it was Bele Chere) knocked over some of his work.
