Pictures were supposed to accompany that last post

So, I went ahead and added some closeups of the Chippers table. Saturday's contributors were Lori Andrews, Paul Herbeck, John Beach, Henry Becker, Doug McBride & Keith Radick. The table was quite full - we are nicely represented.

Saturday at the Brukner Woodcarving Show

Columbus Chippers had an exhibt at the Brukner show, and in addition, Two of our members, Joseph and Leeann Poindexter also had an exhibit - "Woodcarvings by Poindexter".

Program for the April Meeting (3rd Tuesday 6:00 to 8:00)

"CARVING SMALL CHARACTERS"
April 21 Program: "Carving Small Characters", using Jack Price's pattern. There are all sorts of reasons for caving small characters: practice knife technique, sketch out an idea before going full size, use all those cut-offs on the shop floor, carve something for no reason other than that it is amusing. From a single pattern Price carves a wide range of characters - male, female, imaginary, and mythical. From Price's caricature style we can branch out into flat plane, realistic, stylized.., all from a 3/4 x 3/4 x 2 inch block. Jim Miner will provide blanks and a brief introduction. You bring your tools and imagination.
