May 2024 CarveIn Report:
| Our May Carve-In was hosted by the Birds of Vermont Museum in Huntington.. Once again, the day started out a very nice day spring day. Erin had the room all set up for us as the 9 carvers began to arrive. It was very good to see some of our newer members join us for a day of carving. Everyone brought a project to work on, including Roy working on a relief "green man", Oliver brought along two spoons, and Matt a piece of cottonwood bark to transform into "bark tiny house". Barb brought along the Treasurer's Report, and a few signed up for the class. We had a short discussion about the August Class and Show held at the Museum in August as noon arrived for a lunch break. Several had to leave at noon, while the rest continued to make chips till about 1:30 when it was time to clean up the shop. A very nice way to spend an early summer day carving as well as meeting several Museum guests that came out to see what carving entailed, and welcome some of our new members to the group. |  |

Go past the Middlesex Dam, and turn left onto TH#66 Turner Rd. (about 1

we'll carve by the Gazebo and picnic table, or in the garage if it happens
to rain. Bring a carving to work on, and something for the B-B-cue lunch,
I'll have the grill on for lunch. As a special treat for Roy I just found
some Maple Spamto grill and on sale, not to be missed…
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 and Sale held in Waterbury Vermont.
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.
