Hickory, North Carolina

Welcome
We are a group of wood carving enthusists ranging from beginner carvers to those with over 40 years of experience!

The purpose of the CATAWBA VALLEY WOOD CARVERS CLUB is to promote an interest in wood carving for persons of all competence, whether they are beginners or advanced professionals.

Provide information, education, and hands-on experience for all members, and to encourage creativity and to explore new methods and techniques for advancing wood carving as a creative craft and as a unique art form.

We encourage membership in, and give support to the National Wood Carvers Association

Meetings are on the 3rd Saturday of the month, at the Hickory location of Klingspor's Woodworking Shop, located at 856 21st St Dr. SE Hickory.

The meetings are from 1 pm to 3 pm. After a short business session, a member or an invited guest presents a program. Members can bring projects they are working on or work on the "club project".

Members are encouraged to bring finished items for "show and tell". Refreshments are supplied by club volunteers.

Annual dues are $24 (January renewal)

Dues are $24 per calendar year, payable in January. If not paid by March you will be considered dropped from membership.

Any person at least fourteen years old, interested in wood carving or whittling, whether amateur or professional, may become a member.

Anyone younger than 14 can attend meetings, with an supervising adult.

New members pay a prorated amount ($2 a month) for each of the months remaining in the year.
