Allen Goodman
Maryville, TN.
A whittle bit about me. When I was 9 my mother bought me my first knife. Owning a knife was a big responsibility and I still have the knife in my collection. At 17 I took my first workshop with Tom Wolfe. That afternoon we toured Tom’s gallery to see all of his woodcarvings. I knew then and there what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I have been carving for over 20 years and have carved with such notable carvers as Harold Enlow, John Burke and Helen Gibson. I have been teaching 17 years at carving clubs throughout the southeast and at the John C Campbell Folk School. In the last few years I have started making my own brand of woodcarving knives and provide a sharpening service for carvers. I have started a YouTube channel “allengoodman69” to help folks learn to carve. I have contributed articles to Carving Magazine. I have 3 DVD’s available through CarvingVideos.com . It is my belief, If you want to carve, all you have to do is “want to”...the rest will come with patience and lots of practice.
