[Woodcarver] Carving Associations

[sally nye]

Hi Mark,

Mike suggested Chip Chats which is good.  That deals with local club 
shows, classes etc.  It's a good way to get to know the carvers & their 
style of carving.  In the back of each issue you'll find several pages 
of upcoming classes (when, where and who is teaching them) as well as 
upcoming shows (dates, location, contact person).  It's quite complete 
and informative.

Another thing you might be interested in is Carving Magazine    
www.carvingmagazine.com
They do an excellent job with carving projects and articles for all 
levels of carving skill.  You can find all information on their web 
site.  Browse through back issues, projects, etc...even have a forum.

  Another magazine is Wood Carving Illustrated   
www.WoodCarvingIllustrated.com
They offer carving projects and a slate of show events as well.

Others on this list are more knowledgeable than I but try these for 
starters.

Good luck
Sally

For $14 a year you can join the National Woodcarversr
Association and you get Chip Chats magazine.  The
magazine itself is worth more than that.

Their web page is http://www.chipchats.org/
