Wood Carving

 

Coordinator: Russ Bray

We do chip-carving, whittling, relief-carving, figure-carving, animals & birds, caricatures etc., and learn about woods, tools, sharpening, holding, and ideas for projects.

We meet Monday afternoons in the Community Room in the basement at Errinrung.

The cost of tools, wood, & safety equipment depends on the type of carving and the extent of involvement one wishes to have. We get much of our supplies from Chippingaway located in Kitchener, ON. On three occasions we have hired outside instructors for a 2-day course, but most of the time we just help each other. We do have fun.

At this time we are not open to more outside guests or members of other Probus Clubs, but if you wish to be added to our mailing list for current updates on our Activity, please send your e-mail &/or phone to Russ Bray.
