Woodcarving Exhibits n Competitions
These events are plentiful across North America. Many beginner carvers are not aware just how large the woodcarving community is. There are literally thousands of woodcarving clubs or groups across the United States and Canada. Some of groups started as in a Senior Center when a couple of whittlers drew attention from other senior center members. Some of the groups grew into actual clubs with a governing board of directors, annual dues, etc.
