PA Fowler Build getting some help from Jeff Talbert
« on: October 03, 2021, 02:40:39 AM »
I had the pleasure of visiting Jeff Talbert today. I got some lessons in carving and he helped me with my butt plate. Here's a few pics.

Jeff's work station with his current build in the vise. He spent some time teaching me about carving techniques, terminology, tools and showed me how to stab in lines.

He is very generous with his knowledge and experience.  I can't wait to see the end result of the Lehigh he is building.  Good luck with your fowler build.
