If you are a woodcarver, you have probably heard of the name “Addis.” Addis in one form or another was imprinted on edge-tools produced in England for well over a century. Many of the carving tools made by members of the Addis Family survive and are sought out by woodcarvers today because of their collectability and exceptional quality.
Paul Glowacki is a self taught woodcarver from Rochester, MN who took up woodcarving in 1995. Paul does many styles of carving but specializes in woodspirits and woodspirit walking sticks. He often says: “I am keeping the spirit in woodcarving!”
The library will also be back.
