Well our September meeting was another good one with 11 members in attendance. We learned that Woodworkers Emporium will be opening at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday , so it was decided to start our meetings at 8:30 instead of 9:00. This is just when we can start,( as one member reminded us he get us at 8:00 and will be there a.s.a.p.. )

           First here is the picture that I promised to get from last month of Rod's big horn sheep.

                              Again Bob had more of his great cottonwood bark carvings.

We also had 2  members return after missing the summer. And Len brought more chip carvings.

                     Our new member Jerry brought some of his work to share with us.

Again as I said great meeting. Hope to see you next month. And "Thank you Dennis" for bringing the tags and wood burner to make our name tags.

Our August meeting was the best of the summer with 11 members ( one new) and 1 visitor.
Welcome Larry to our group.
Bob was on vacation this week and put his woodworking talents to good use building a new woodcarving tool box.  Among it's features are glass panels, drawers, and full view of all his tools at once.

                                                                   Great job Bob !


Randy brought in two of his recent cottonwood bark carvings . And Rod brought in his mountain sheep carved in a piece of antler. ( sorry I didn't get a good photo but I will).

                                          As the clock says" It's 5 o'clock somewhere".

Hope to see you all next month.

Our July meeting was last Saturday with two new members joining us. Gloria and Liz.
Liz came to renew her desire and talents passed on from her grandfather. And Gloria is an accomplished artist and stone carver who wants to expand into woodcarving.

Welcome to our two new members. We all hope to see you in August.

Our June meeting was yesterday at Woodworkers Emporium. Again thanks to them for letting us use the room for our meetings !

Our attendance was 7 with one new member Ann from the Sin City Woodworkers Club. always happy to see a new face in attendance.


Mike finished another of his fabulous crosses. He said he may be taking a "cross brake" and had some new things in mind..

Bob is making more cottonwood bark houses for his friendship walking stick. Thanks Bob for the house for my walking stick.

And With Rod's direction I was able to finish my horse . And have started making Christmas presents. Never too early.

See you in July.

Our May meeting was a small group, but hopefully we were able to spark an interest in a new carver.
We had a visit from John and his grandfather to see if John ( a grade school student) has any interest in woodcarving.
Dennis loaned him a knife and he was given an assignment to carve an egg.

Len was in town for a visit and was able to attend. Hopefully he will be a full time resident soon.

Bob brought his homemade carving table. Here is a photo and print of his cool ( carve anywhere) table.

We were also treated by Dennis to see his floral creation he is carving for every doorway arch in his home. Just the small leaves will require almost 300 hand carved leaves.  Good luck my friend.

Bob also traded me one of his cottonwood bark houses for my friendship cane. Thanks again Bob.

I hope you all are having a great Memorial Day week end.

Well our April meeting was last Saturday, with one new member joining our group. Welcome Ben.

I had proposed that we do a "friendship cane" project. It is a slow project as every member has to carve a block for everyone's cane. This could take 10 months , if there were 10 members and we each exchanged one per month. Well Bob took the bull by the horns and started his cane, even doing the first 3 blocks  himself and turning the handle and bottom.

Mike brought the "Woodcarvers of Las Vegas" sign back with his new addition to it.

Another great job.

And Rod brought a sample of how to carve horses for us all to admire.

What else can I say but judge for yourself.

 

Woodworkers, start your canes. The plan calls for a 5/8" doll rod and pre drilled blocks

 2"x 2"x 3". 

See you next month at Dennis"s shop. Woodworkers Emporium will be closed for Memorial Day.

See you the 25th.
