Contact cudarunner in Walla Walla. Excellent honer and might be able to arrange a meeting to get you started. Tell him I recommended him. Also pinklather in the Portland area might be able to help (was my Mentor when I got started.)

Thank you, gents. Great tips and I will be doing the recommended followup.
