WOODCARVERS OF LAS VEGAS


Our October meeting  was today and it was our LARGEST GROUP yet.  Thanks to Bob Pearce and his cottonwood bark demo.  We had a new total of 15 people and we hope all or most will return
to our group.
I think  our new members enjoyed learning a new craft and were able to take home a good start on their bark carving.

  We were also again treated to another of Rod's great carvings of a lady and flowers.

And there are no words to describe another of  Mike's Celtic crosses., but to say BEAUTIFUL!

We will have to postpone Len's chip carving demo for now. He is  "back home in Indiana" and won't be back for a little while.
Hope to see you all next month .

Next Bob brought another group of his beautiful cottonwood bark houses. ( demo next month).

Rod brought in another great buffalo carving.

Next some of Len's chip carved boxes.

And to finish off Scott bought our first "club equipment" a "selfie stick".

After 4 or 5 attempts here is your laugh of the day.

Scott and Randy 

Don't miss next months Bark Carving !

Welcome Woodcarvers of Las Vegas. Well our July meeting was a bit on the small attendance size, but lots of ideas were shared and hopefully some news plans were made. Summer vacations must be the reason?

Bob again brought some of his new cottonwood bark carvings he has done this past month , and our newest member Steve was itching to try one as his first carving project.

And Dennis and Randy added their cottonwood bark carvings ( inspired by Bob) to make this village.

 

We hope to see YOU in August.

And lastly we were treated to Bob's bark carving whimsical

May 2015 Woodcarvers Meeting.

Our May meeting was a little small only 5 members , with one new member.
We were treated to another Mike Cook Celtic Cross carving. They only keep getting better and better !

Our newest member Kirk brought some of his hand carved wooden spoons. He is a hiker and outdoorsman so he gathers his wood on his week ends. Here are a few samples.

Mike also shared with us his new tool rolls he made from a hide he had purchased. Another great idea.

 

 

Hope you all had a Happy Memorial Day. See you next month.
