WOODCARVERS OF LAS VEGAS



Our February meeting was yesterday with fantastic attendance. We set a record of 20 members and guests. Len did a great job with his chip-carving hands on demo. Almost everyone was able to finish their practice  piece.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and a special thanks to Len.

Oh and by the way this is how to perfect your skills.

See you in March.

 Our end of the year meeting was a week early due to Christmas Eve. We had a nice group of 7 members in attendance.  Christmas carvings were on display with Bob's cotton wood bark Santa's, and Rod's antler carved Santa.

Jerry brought some of his carvings to share as well.

Len Black will be doing his chip carving demo at the February 2017 meeting. He is getting prepared and the weather might be better.

Finally Rod was inspired with Dennis's out house.  He carved one with a cowboy. 

Great job by all.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All.

Randy and Dennis

Another great meeting with one new member in attendance. That gave us another meeting with 10 carvers.

First while I have you reading, some members have asked me if I could supply them with another members phone number. I only have a very few . If you would like to supply me with your phone number to add to the list please email it back to me.

Also A few members have requested to be dropped from our email list for various reasons. If you no longer wish to receive our emails you can also let me know.

Next Len has finished his move from Indiana and is now here permanently. He is planning to do his chip carving demo at the January 2017 meeting.  More information to follow.

OUR DECEMBER MEETING WILL BE ON THE 3RD SATURDAY, THE 17TH BECAUSE OF THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.

Bob has a new hobby. He is making his own carving knifes. Here is the finished product. GREAT JOB BOB!

 And finally Dennis has finished his latest carving. I guess we can say "things are in the crapper"  ( sorry, my joke Dennis).

                                            

Great job Dennis. See you all on the 17th.

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.
