NO SEE-UMSTOM BROWN’S CARVED NO SEE-UMS

Don Worley created the No See-Ums and has been teaching these delightful carving projects to various students.  The ones pictured here were carved by Caricature Carvers of America member, Tom Brown.  Don taught a class for the Eastern Woodland Carving Club, Converse, Indiana last year where Tom Brown and Gary Freeman became “hooked” on carving No See-Ums.

GARY FREEMAN’S VERSION OF NO SEE-UMSGARY FREEMAN’S VERSION OF NO SEE-UMSGary Freeman carved these versions of No See-Ums.  More about No See-Ums can be seen in two previous postings on November 21, 2008 and February 2, 2009.

WAYNE SHINLEVER’S VERSION OF NO SEE-UMS

Wayne Shinlever of Knoxville, Tennessee learned from Don Worley how to carve No See-Ums at the 2008 Dollywood Carving Show and since Wayne is a Santa carver he carved his version of a No See-Ums.

No See-Ums have become very popular with carvers who have tried these easy and fun projects.  Thanks to Don Worley for introducing this very “addictive” carving project to the carving world.

CAUTION NO SEE-UMS ARE ADDICTIVE
