We are working to schedule a late Winter, early Spring weekend workshop. Stay tuned!

As with everything nowadays, it is suggested that you check to see if the programs are still on the calendar. Those of you receiving Chip Chats or Woodcarving Illustrated will have access to other shows and carving opportunities. The latest issues have some workshops listed that are already cancelled, some are not. Please check before making plans.

If you do not receive Chip Chats, you may want to consider becoming a member of the National Wood Carvers Association. Dues are $20/year. The magazine comes bi-monthly (although in the time of Covid, it is quarterly). Send your name, address, and dues to:

National Wood Carvers Association

Pensacola Fair results

A total of 13 carvings were sent to the Pensacola Fair held in October 2021. Five came back with ribbons. Mike received a blue ribbon for a bark house and a white ribbon for a carved bracelet. Lance received a blue ribbon for a dragon. Robert received a blue ribbon for a caricature of a man with a rifle and coffee pot and a white ribbon for a caricature of a man with a rifle and a bottle. The caricature category had many entries so was very competitive.
