Followed that thread on Facebook you got the rookies stirred up pretty good,sales buy time for art.
why is a painter allowed to make prints off an original but sculptors cant make reproductions?
Its an insatiable market that cant be filled according to my uncle mike McVay in 1976, he had been carving with a chainsaw for twenty years at that point.
In the pacific northwest I know of at least 3 carvers that have duplicators {Terrco'S from north Dakota from at least twenty years one guy upgraded to a machine that did twenty at a time,he is still spewing carvings out.
This is old news.
We have been discharging carvings into the pacific northwest bloodstream for forty years handmade or handcrafted with no end in sight, there is in my estimation 100s of carvers from the canadian border to Portland Oregon.
Anyone willing to work is as busy as they want to be.
The common problem unique to all is a lack of inventory so thank you barre for your pulic service and pot stirring!
These new carvers are like Teenagers and Sex, they think they invented it when they merely discovered it!
and remember carve or starve...
