      Dedication

      There is nothing like grandchildren, and, of course, my three are the best: Emilee, Turtle, and Zane. This book is dedicated to the three of them.

      Acknowledgments

      My son, Todd, is largely responsible for my dedication to this art and to Chipping Away. His encouragement and involvement with our business included countless hours of traveling, teaching, exhibiting, and, of course, carving. We worked wonderfully together.
