Carving wood while sitting on a fence

Description

This photograph taken around 1930 shows five early students of the John C. Campbell Folk School sitting on a fence and carving small figures. The carvers are, from left to right, Ray Lee, Douglas Smith, Dub Martin, Tom McLeymore, and Rome Hampton. These carvers produced and sold carvings through the school's woodcarving cooperative which later became known as the Brasstown Carvers.
