In
1974, a woodcarving group organized to form the North Arkansas
Woodcarvers Club. It was incorporated as a non-profit organization
in 1992 under the laws of the State of Arkansas. In 2000, it was
recorded with the IRS as a 501C3 organization, allowing all donations
to be tax deductible. Membership averages 150 members, most residing
in Baxter and Marion Counties. |
|
We
are blessed with many talented carvers in our club who willingly
teach our beginner’s classes to current members. The only cost
involved is for the Beginner’s Kit. More advanced classes
are offered at little or no cost to the carver with the exception
of the wood/blank. Members who travel to various parts of the
country and teach specialty carving classes are
sometimes available to teach locally. Instructors from outside
the club are occasionally available. A monthly newsletter for
members contains a Calendar of Events which includes classes
that are scheduled both locally and in other areas. |
|
Beginner’s
Kits (required for beginner’s classes) include 1 knife, a safety
glove, and wood/blanks and patterns for 6 projects. Excellent
carving tools can be purchased
from club members at reasonable prices. Some also offer Northern
Basswood and Butternut.

COMMUNITY
|
Our Club
supports the community in many ways. Some of the community efforts
the Club is participating in include carving classes for the
Baxter County Library summer youth program, support of regional
cultural arts development efforts and community service organization
fundraising drives. Our members have donated time to various
carving projects in the community such as the Mountain Home
Christian Clinic and Cooper Park. The park projects include
the large tree mural in the Youth Center at Cooper Park, two
totem poles and a stump in the park’s lower area. All of these
carvings are definite assets to the city, and have been admired
and praised by many city and state officials.
Another
asset our City enjoys is our Annual
Woodcarving Show which has been a part of the community
for more than 30 years. The Show offers our community and region
the opportunity to see, enjoy and appreciate the skill, creativity
and beauty of wood carving firsthand. This exciting two day
event is held in early May of each year and attracts carvers
from all over the country as well as drawing many people to
our City.
