The show features exhibits by carvers, carving instructors, tool vendors, and wood vendors. Door prizes will be given every 60 minutes. Table space may be rented by both commercial and non-commercial exhibitors. Table registration is by mail only (print above form and mail). No online table registrations.
All 35 categories of carvings will be open to all carvers by division. Judging criteria will be determined by the judges.
One additional category has been added this year! Carvers with projects that they would like to DISPLAY for viewing will have a separate area—no judging – just for public viewing. If your piece is for sale, we will place your phone number on the piece. YOU and the buyer will discuss the money exchange. THE RGV CLUB WILL NOT GET INVOLVED IN THE SALE but would appreciate a donation back to the club.
