Donna and Dallas Deege own the Old Texas Woodcarvers Shop in Old Spring, Texas, north of Houston. Dallas helped us start the February seminar in Uvalde.

They sell carving tools and equipment, caricature carvings of cowboys, clowns and a few others. They also sell roughouts for the carvings they offer and books about carving. They have carving seminars at the shop, featuring many well know carving instructors. Dallas teaches regularly scheduled woodcarving classes.
