April CarveIn Report
Host: Dave Tuttle - Wolpole, NH
| April showers and an early week snow helped bring early spring weather for our trip to Walpole for our April CarveIn… The northern group was down to just Matt and myself, and as we arrived, Dave was starting the heater to warm up the garage and had some "shelf elf" style Santa cutouts for the day's project. Others soon arrived and we were up to 9 carvers. As always the snack table was stocked with coffee, kuchen, scones and cookies to hold us over till lunch. While many worked on the shelf elf Santas, Dustin and Oliver again focused on spoon carvings. A few time during the morning, Dave made a trip to the basement to help touchup some of our dull tools, while lots of chips filled the floor throughout the conversations during the morning . We covered everything from the summer class, the Lunar flight the night before and the arrival of tick season. Back to carving we worked till around noon Bowls of Corn Chowder and bread arrived. During lunch, Dale, "the Carvin' Barber" arrived and showed us the same Santa he had carved during the week with Dave as well as photos of the chainsaw carving he has been working on. We called it a day at 2:00 and did a few of us did a short side trip to Barb's to help start sorting thru Wood's wood collection in the attic, including a few carvings we can finish and put on the fundraising table at the August Show.. Once again thank you Dave for a great day of carving and excellent corn chowder. |  |
May 9, 2026 CarveIn
Host: Birds of Vermont Museum - Huntington, VT
Our May Carve-In will be hosted by the Birds of Vermont Museum in Huntington. Most of our members know the directions, but just in case, take the I-89 Richmond exit, go into Richmond, go south and follow the signs to the Museum. As we will be meeting indoors in the shop area, and Museum guests will be visiting, please remember to bring a mask The Museum houses our extensive book collection, this is a good time to check out our carving book library. As we are planning for our August Class and Show at the Museum, this is also a good opportunity to get the latest updates, see the prototype Kingfisher and being at the Museum, its easy to sign up for the class as well.
