Participant information for Carving with Mary May

Tools

Mary sells Dastra brand tools and is offering a 10% discount to students. The tools can be either straight or fishtail, but if budget is not an issue, fishtails are preferred. If you already have several gouges and they do not exactly match the tool list, contact Mary and she will see if they can be substituted. She is also offering her instructional DVDs with matching plaster castings at a discount - the cost will be $20 per item, whether a DVD or casting. If you could let Mary know ahead of time if you are interested in purchasing anything, she can make sure she brings enough.

Mary will be using diamond stones for sharpening - but any sharpening stones will do. If anybody has sharpening stones, strops, or slip stones, they can bring them. Mary will be bringing her own for people to use.

Things that might be handy (Mary will be bringing these as well)
* Carbon paper
* Scissors
* Calipers

Mary also suggests
