The Rhode Island store closed in 2011, Walter's locker and some of his carvings are now at the Woodcraft Store in Walpole, Mass.

Thanks Jerry,


Yeah, I went to Woodcraft.c om and sadly there isn't a RI store anymore.

I'll swing by the Walpole store on my way back.

Very talented guy! A couple of years ago, the cover of one of the quarterly Lee Valley Tools sales flyers had a carving of a leather jacket that was incredibly realistic. I can't remember the carver's name. Someone on this forum also posted a link to a video of a carver that carved books or famous documents that were incredible. Years ago, at Woodcraft in Orange County, I met a carver with an east European accent who said he'd made $300,000 the prior year just from carving. Never got his name. There are a lot of very talented carvers out there! Especially in the duck decoy world (albeit they do a lot of their work with power carvers).
Still Learning,

It's about 2 miles north of Gillette Stadium, on Route 1, in the southbound lane.
