Bill Boehme began woodcarving about 20 years ago.  Bill, of Buffalo, Minnesota, winters in Fort Myers, Florida.  He learned how to make fan birds about 15 years ago from a fellow carver, Wes Spadgenske, of Andover, Minnesota.   Bill has sold many birds, usually at Christmas time.  In 2007 Bill gave a demonstration on the carving process at the Caloosa Carving Club.  In 2008 he gave a mini-class with 7 members of the club.  They all did such a great job, he repeated the class the following year. Bill obtains the fan bird cutouts from Wes Spadgenske.
