Mac Proffitt Beginner Class
| Mac began carving when he was living on an island in the South
Pacific and continued his love of woodcarving when he returned to
his native East Tennessee some 16 years ago. He and his wife
bought Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers Supply from Jim Wilsford and,
along with selling carving supplies, started Smoky Mountain School
of Woodcarving in Townsend, TN at Nawger Nob. Mac has been teaching beginner and advanced classes for over 12 years in Townsend and at various locations including the University of Tennessee, John C. Campbell Folk School, the annual Woodcarving School in Montgomery. Mac also provides sharpening seminars throughout the southern states. Mac's beginner class will take you through the helpful steps that will assist you in becoming a woodcarver. These steps include:
A knife and a glove are required for the class. Student may bring own knife and gouges or purchase at class time. Mac will assist each student in selecting proper tools. A v-tool and a shallow gouge will be used on class project.
