      Hi, Crystal. It’s always great to hear from people who are excited to learn wood grain. To answer your question, I’m opening Perfect Wood Grain Mastery 2.0 in late October.

      My current group of coaching students have helped me make big improvements to the course. It’s gonna be awesome and I promise the wait will be well worth it.

      Thanks again. Looking forward to working with you and all the new students.

      Hey, Dave
      Thanks for the questions. If you click “Buy the course” up at the top of the page, you’ll see all the details about the course. You’ll need Acrobat reader to read the .pdf file. Easy to install and doesn’t require a degree from M.I.T. to use. Right now (until Wednesday, 3/27) you can get the ebook AND the Studio-Manual book for under $100. With the Studio-Manual, you can read through the ebook a couple of times then use the hard copy while working on your projects.
