Welcome to the Green Mountain Wood Carvers Website. GMWC
members are involved with most all aspects of woodcarving. We meet the second
Saturday of each month for a "Carve-In". The Carve-Ins' are held
at members houses and shops across the state, and provide an opportunity
for members to gather, work on a projects and share ideas. In addition to
our monthly Carve-Ins, each August, the Club plans a week long series of
events including a carving class, and our Annual August Show held at the
Birds of Vermont Museum .
You don't need to be an accomplished carver to join the GMWC, our members
range from first time carvers to professional carvers. Members work in all
aspects of wood carving including relief, chip, caricatures, birds and wild
fowl. Are members are always willing to help new carvers get started.
Follow the website links to find information about our various activities,
contact information, our membership form and a copy of our newsletter, News
& Notes. You can also find the us on Facebook by joining the Green Mountain
Woodcarvers group.
As of 11/18/20, the GMWC is now recognized as a Non-Profit Organization with tax exempt status of 501(c)3.
August 4 Day Festival of WoodCarving
Host: Birds of Vermont Museum - Huntington, VT
To help to avoid possible conflicts, this year we are returning our Annual Show to the 3rd Saturday, August 15th, at the Birds of Vermont Museum. The Show will follow our 3 Day Belted Kingfisher class competing our 2026, "4 Day Festival of Woodcarving" at the Museum. This is a good opportunity to get together with fellow carvers, show your work, and get more people interested in woodcarving. We like to think of our Annual Show as a large outdoor CarveIn where we invite the public to join us. Please mark your calendars and plan on joining us to celebrate our 52nd year of our Annual Public Carving Show. Don't have a canopy or table for the outdoor Show? No problem, we have some to share. As the Show is right after the August class, its also a good time to see the progress on the Herons. For those in the class a time to fine tune the project and start some painting. 53rd Annual Green Mountain Woodcarving Show - August
15, 2026 The Green Mountain Woodcarvers will be holding their 53rd
Annual Woodcarving Show on Saturday August 15th at the Birds of Vermont
Museum from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Carvers from around Vermont and New
England will be displaying their work, including many from the Central Vermont
area. In addition to the displays, demonstrations are planned throughout
the day of carving styles and methods, including an opportunity for kids
(of all ages) to learn how to try their hand at soap carving. |

July 11, 2026 CarveIn Report
Host: Bill Stinson - Waitsfield, VT
Bill Stinson was again able to host our July CarveIn.
For the past 4 years, Early July brought numerous thunderstorms and flooding
to Vermont. Thursday it looked like it might repeat itself, but we lucked
out, and had a very nice dry and very comfortable Saturday for our CarveIn.
7 members attended while other had conflicts. Dave Tabor arrived for a while
to show his grandchildren Bill's Train layout but had to leave early. We
spent the morning carving and discussing details about the August Class,
and enjoying the nice comfortable weather return. In addition to the morning
snacks, Mike had brought along a jar of Rhubarb Juice for us to try, while
making a good size pile of wood chips on the floor. At noon our hosts had
set the lunch table with iced tea and lemonade, and a complete sandwich
platter with all the fixins', setting the bar high for future CarveIn Hosts.
We joked that Bill should thing about opening a Country Inn (he ran one
in the past). After seconds t the lunch table, we were back to working on
our projects and continued carving and talking till around 2:00 when we
decided it was time to head home.
