I read this note from TomD on another fourm:

"I just heard from a friend that Mr. Sundqvist passed away. He was one of the main figures to help popularize Swedish carving techniques on this side of the Atlantic. Before reading an article about him in FWW I did not know of the spoons and other articles that have since become popular carving projects. He also made many friends through Country Workshops."

I read about him in carving book. If interested in carving you probably can't go wrong with this 1990 book, reprinted a few years ago.

Crap!? I didn't know much about Willie, but appreciate his influence on Spoon Carving.

I have to thank him for spreading that legacy worldwide, and making the world a better place.
