February, 2026 CarveIn Report
Host: Barbara Taylor - Putney, VT
| For our February, we returned once again to our traditional Valentines weekend CarveIn hosted by Barb Taylor. Another all the ice then cold and snow in January,the weather cooperated with good day for our CarveIn. Roy served as the bus driver for the group of carvers coming down from central Vermont, so for Leo and those of us driving a longer distance, things worked out very well. We had 11 carvers attending. Dave brought along some cutouts for making Glittered Magic Mushrooms for a project. (he will have the glitter paint in April). A table was set aside for all the morning snacks that were brought along to carry us thru the morning, with the wood stove keeping us warm. In addition to carved Mushrooms, Matt was working on a Valentines Day spoon, along with Bill, Okliver and Dustin also carving spoons and Leo on a Santa face. Lunch call was made at noon so we headed to the house for hot vegetable soup and sandwiches. We had a short meeting after lunch, Barb rep[orted we are financially "solvent". We began discussing our August events and decided staying with the 3rd Saturday would seem to work best for most member's schedules. We will again be working with the Museum to offer our 3 day class and host the Annual Show. Back to carving, we worked till around 2 when several had to leave, cleaned up the Shop and headed home after a very good day of carving and conversation. |  |
March 14, 2026 CarveIn
Host: Dave Tabor - Randolph, VT
At our January CarveIn we decided that, Randolph would
once again be an excellent location to get together for our March CarveIn,
as after January's Ice Storm, who knows what kind of weather we might have..
Dave Tabor reserved the space again for us, providing a nice central location
with lots of room to carve and easy to clean up the chip pile we always
seem to make. We begin carving at 10:00. Don't forget lunch and no need
to bring a chair as the room is all set for chairs and tables.
Directions:
Magee Office Products - 463 VT-12 South, Randolph, VT 05060
Take Exit 4 off I-89. At the end of the ramp, turn downhill toward the

The Green Mountain Wood Carvers was organized about 65+ years ago by Collise Brown from Waterville Vermont to bring together people interested in the art of wood carving. At present, we have about 75 members from Vermont as well as other states across New England.
Members of the club meet the second Saturday of each month for a "Carve-In". The Carve-Ins' are held at members houses and shops across the state, and provide an opportunity for members to gather, work on a projects and share ideas. In addition to our monthly Carve-Ins, each August, the Club plans a week long series of events including a carving class, and our Annual August Show held at the Birds of Vermont Museum .
You don't need to be an accomplished carver to join the GMWC, our members range from first time carvers to professional carvers. Members work in all aspects of wood carving including relief, chip, caricatures, birds and wild fowl. Are members are always willing to help new carvers get started.
Follow the website links to find information about our various activities, contact information, our membership form and a copy of our newsletter, News & Notes.
As of 11/18/20, the GMWC is now recognized as a Non-Profit Organization with tax exempt status of 501(c)3.
