I’ll try this again. As noted, the difficulty in finding a club in a particular state is that the WCI clublist isn’t alphabetized by state. Good to know that Fox Chapel will rectify that. My reason for asking the question to start with is that I’m a guest wood carver at Silver Dollar City in... -

Further thought: WCI has a directory of carving clubs listed by the state. Sometimes you can contact a club nearest to where you live and find out if there are members in your neighborhood/nearby and put you in touch with them if you’re wanting to network for carving purposes. Also, not to tout... -
Just doing them in miniature form was what I first thought, but goodness, they are still lots of work carving, then lots of work painting. What a challenge! -
Glen, there’s so many possibilities to chose from when it comes to just doing them in miniature form. I just hope to be finished before next Christmas!! -
Claude, that’s an excellent idea. More relief than in the round would certainly save wood, weight, and carving time. -
Thanks, Merle, this is an awesome carving that’’s obviously a woodduck without all the color painting. I love it...really lets the wood shine! -
Unless I get carried away with roughing out something, all the chips are confined to the table top! -
Wood Duck or rainbow trout as Christmas Ornaments
Has anyone carved a wood duck or a rainbow trout as a Christmas ornament? Probably in the 5-6” size. I’ve had a request to make both for gifts for next Christmas. Other than doing them as miniatures, I’ve thought about half round (flat back) but totally lacking in other ideas.... -
It would be helpful if folks would list their general or specific location in their profiles. We used to do that more often than I see it nowadays. I think there’s some old old postings that asked this question and got quite a number of specific responses. Good luck with your quest!...Leave a comment:

Carvers are so innovative when coming up with solutions to our carving problems that fit our skill level. I could never build something like this so I am doubly appreciative of my buddy making it for me after we talked about all the needed dimensions! -
That's why I posted it. Knew some of you carvers could adapt our design and come up with something that will work for you! -
Hey you! Good to hear from you. It's been awhile. These long night dark-time are made for carving in where it's warm. I can rough out at least one ornament between the 6: news and the 10: news! Big messes are related to the shop. I have a cd/dvd player in the shop so I often listen to audio books... -
It was made with casters, but that kept the "feet" from sliding under the chair to bring the tray up close to me, so I removed the casters. It does just slide easily now. It's great!
