Instructor of Realistic Animal woodcarving - Mountain Lion
Using power tools and dust collector - Class Fee - $199.00 plus blank

Kirt Curtis comes to us from Marion, Iowa. He teaches realistic animal woodcarving classes all around the United States each year. His knowledge and woodcarving talent place him as one of the most desirable instructors everywhere he goes. Kirt has been teaching a woodcarving class for almost 20 years at the National Museum of Woodcarving. The best way to describe the quality of his class is to ask one who has attended in the past. The number of repeat students over the years usually fills his class quickly. Kirt's long history of teaching classes with us include quality carvings like buffalo, big horn sheep, elk, deer, fox, etc. We guarantee you will come away from his class with a valued woodcarving.
