WOODCARVERS OF LAS VEGAS



Our April meeting today was attended by 8 members.  I am sure there being 5 Saturdays this month,
some of our members thought our meeting would be next week.

Sorry for them , as they missed the delicious bagels that Philip and Michael brought for a treat.
Thanks guys !

Rod brought in a tortoise that was in hibernation to share.  Another Beautiful carving from Rod.

And Sherri brought in her turned globe that she is now carving out. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Scott and Rod helped me with the carving in progress of a full size mans head. This will be a slow project. Photos to follow.

Dennis will be doing our May demo on  tool sharpening. I thing our June demo will be basic face carving by Scott and a little help from me.  Let us know if there is anything you are interested in for future demos.

                                                                  See you in May.

FIRST LETS ALL THANK  YOU TO OUR LEADER DENNIS FOR HIS PURCHASEING, DESIGNING, AND BUILDING OUR BEAUTIFUL STORAGE/DISPLAY CABINET !

                                    He  also supplied us with a generous selection of reading material. Thanks to everyone who helped unload and fill up the cabinet.

Our club sign is finished and at Woodworkers Emporium for display somewhere downstairs.

I did not get many photos this month but, here is our new apprentice chip carver Michael with his own designed second chip carved box.

And Dennis finished the "foot of his friendship cane".

                                                                 See you in April.

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.

Our October meeting was attended by a group of 10 with one visitor. Bob shared with us he has been selling his cottonwood bark Halloween carvings as fast as he can make them. GREAT Job Bob!

Jerry brought some of his work in to share. Beautiful work with special interest in his "Chinese Junk".

Rod has been busy with moor deer antler carvings. He did some beautiful flowers with a special small flower on the bottom.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING
