This is a transcript of an interview of woodcarver Edsel Martin (1927-1999) was conducted by Edward Dupuy and Clifford Hotchkiss in 1965. Martin lived in Swannanoa, North Carolina and made both carved birds and dulcimers during the Craft Revival period. Martin traces his carving back to his father and grandfather and talks about carving with his brothers. Dupuy's 1967 book "Artisans of the Appalachians" contains an essay on Martin that is based on this interview.
