Woodcarving, enameling and other arts

• I am listed at the woodcarver's web, a comprehensive list of craftsmen and wood artisans. From the home page click on Individual Links and then on Mexico.

• And also in the Fine Woodcarving Webring. There's lots of very accomplished craftsmen listed here. When I see the work of other masters I feel like an apprentice.
