I'm a part of this great website because I am a woodworker and enjoy new adventures into woodworking with my LJ friends but my passion is for woodcarving. I have been carving for about 14 years and have taken a couple of classes from Wayne Barton the world renowned chip carver. Wayne Barton not only gives classes but because he studied carving in Switzerland he also puts together a 12 day Swiss tour every year. The wife and I have been saving our money for the Swiss trip ever since my first class with Wayne and this past Sept. we took the trip of a lifetime.
This trip is not like other tours in that there are no more than 26 people on it and you don't feel rushed because you stay two nights at each stay.
I was indeed pleasantly surprised with how much history, architecture, woodworking, and woodcarving that we saw. Switzerland is one interesting country.
If you have every thought about taking a trip to Switzerland then this trip is a must. This is a very reasonably priced trip.

Does this mean that your wife is into carving now?

Lee, Awe struck isn't even a good word. I'm still looking at details in those 1700+ pictures I took. Ouch! You would have loved to see some of the veneering that they did back in 1100 AD.Tour of a lifetime

Debbie, never say never! I thought we would never have enough to go on that trip but just by saving a little at a time we were able to do it. I must also say that we had no priorities come up during that saving time. The trip is worth every penny spent. Thanks!Tour of a lifetime

Swiss Doors!
One thing that I found in Switzerland was that there was no limit to the imagination as to what a door or doorway was to look like.

These doors, door openings, and entrances are magnificent! Every picture is worth a thousand words. It truly must be wonderful to see it in person and these are only the doors. Amazing design and quality craftsmanship.
Thanks for sharing!
I had not really thought much about doors and mantle design. This was neat. Thanks.Swiss Doors!
