about 50 current members (men, women and children!). Visitors and new

Meetings are fun and informal.

About Us page for details.

Carving is easy to learn and an inexpensive hobby to start!
All you need is a sharp knife, a chunk of wood and Band-Aids!
If you mess up your carving...you have designer firewood! (And you just
start over!)
You can sell your carvings or give them as gifts!
Carvers are down-to-earth and outright friendly folk!
Carving is fun and relaxing and you can take it with you almost anywhere!
