OKCarverText Box: The Oklahoma City Wood Carvers Club Meets the second Monday each month, 7:00 PM, City Arts Center, State Fair Grounds

Vol. XXXXIV NO.05

May, 2009

May Program

The May program is scheduled to be a show and tell of  item(s) from your collection.  These should be items that have been carved by another wood carver.  You may or may not know the wood carver.  It can be educational and interesting to observe the work of others.  Tell a little bit about how you came to acquire the piece and where it came from.  What is it about the carving that inspired you or impressed you so much that you proudly added the carving to your personal collection!

Purchase awards will be available again for this years woodcarving show.  The order of selection by those who purchase these awards will be based determined by the order of the money received by the treasurer.  Awards can be purchased in $50.00, $100.00 and $200.00 amounts.  Any questions, contact Kent Wallace, Treasurer or Richard Dalke, Show Chairman. (see contacts on page 4 of this NL)


There are still openings left in the Phil & Vicki Bishop Caricature Carving Seminar to be held on November 2, 3, & 4, 2009.  This seminar will be  after our annual woodcarving show.  A $100.00 deposit will be due by August 31, 2009.  Please contact Kent Wallace to reserve your spot.  The class size is limited.  (see page 3 of this NL for your free pattern!)

 

Bruce Futterer Class

The second and third one day seminars with Bruce Futterer drew thirteen carvers for each session. There were so many carvers that they split into two rooms so everyone had plenty of room for their chips to fall freely. This really taxed Bruce’s talents didn’t give him much opportunity to take a breath. Everyone managed to learn some new carving techniques and ended with some excellent examples of flat plain carving of their own.
