Interested in Carving?

Interested in carving?.....

Sin City Woodworkers, a Vegas valley social and networking group committed to serious (and not so serious!) woodworking discussions, meet on the third Wednesday of each month to share everything from techniques and ideas to information about local suppliers and much more. 

This month’s meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 21 at 7:00, and features the amazing bird carvings of Barry Parekh. Living near Havre de Grace, Maryland which is considered the decoy capital, Barry met many well-known carvers and got interested in decoy carving and painting in 1980. His work has won blue ribbons in the advanced level at both local and national carving competitions.

In addition to decorative duck and bird carving and photography, Barry practices medicine at the VA. He also donates much of his energy to teaching and carving with the Las Vegas Woodcarvers here in town, a group which meets several times a month at various sites around town. Join us as Barry discusses some of his amazing creations, and discusses both techniques, tools, and sculptural composition.
Have something to share with the group? We’ll have a quick “Show and Tell” before our featured presentation, so if you’ve made something awesome (or not so awesome, and you want some advice!) - bring your work to this meeting. 

March is the first month of our annual dues drive, and like every year - this is completely voluntary. We’ll never twist your arm for the $20 it takes to call yourself a bona fide Sin City Woodworker, but it sure helps us defray the costs of running this group year round. And the best part - any monies left over go right back into the pockets of our members, so please consider joining us this year. We’ll be collecting dues for the next few months, so if you don’t make it to this one, you still have time.

Feel free to bring a project to present at Show and Tell, and as always - you’re welcome to bring a friend! This meeting will be held at Studio: Wood It Is!, 2267 West Gowan, unit 106 in North Las Vegas. As always, the public is welcome to attend the meeting, but remember - there are a limited number of chairs in the woodshop. Attendees might want to bring a folding chair if they wish to sit during the meeting. If you have questions or need directions, call the studio at 702-631-1870.
