Hello fellow Wood Carvers! As you know, our March General meeting program is our annual Auction. This is one of our clubs main fund raising events. It is an opportunity to pick up a few things that you may need or desire and at very reasonable prices. Members traditionally bring wood carving related items to donate for the benefit of the club. We have seen many great items donated, where the donor suffered great loss and the bidder picked up a great bargain, all, to the clubs benefit! For example, great, high quality basswood blocks where the donor paid premium prices and sold at auction for penny’s on the dollar!
Carving tools, are another buyer opportunity. We have seen quality tools, valued in the $30 to 40$ range, go for $15 to $20. But, don’t limit yourselves to carving items, other treasures are welcome. We hope Marilyn will bring her home made jelly. And others have cheerfully donated home made delights, like cookies and breads. Also, many craft items, clothing, boots, and other valuables come to this market. Just remember, one carvers junk is another’s treasure!
Thanks you and see you at the Auction, March 10. |

beginning with the March General Meeting there will be a carve-in available for those interested. Because we pay for the use of the room at the arts center from 5:00pm till 9:00pm, we should take advantage of the opportunity for anyone wanting to carve prior to the meeting. We will start at 5:00pm and enjoy some carving time before the meeting.
