First New Member in 2019

Welcome Mark Kitto from Mt. Vernon, SD! He drove all the way to Sioux Falls to attend the January third Saturday meeting (the month also for the annual business meeting) of South Dakota Woodcarvers, Inc. and paid $10 to become a member of the club.

Mark and his wife Tanya got started in woodworking five years ago by building birdhouses. Recently picking up a whittling knife and creating marvelous little creatures and characters had to be a simple application of second nature. There seems to be no end to his insight and imagination, and we look forward to seeing him again and again throughout the year.
