About

The mission of the Association is to promote and advance all types of woodcarving skills among its members.  We do so through monthly meetings, our Fall Show and competition, and through The Doane Experience, held in June on the beautiful Doane University campus. 

In 2014 the Association celebrated 40 years, a major milestone.  This can only happen due to the foresight of the men and women who founded and supported the organization since its inception in 1974, as well as the continued dedication of our current members.  Our members range in experience from expert to novice bringing forward dedication and skill in woodcarving, wood sculpture and wood art. 

Annual show in October – registration form is on their website ($30/table). Carvings on display (and for purchase) include: Wildlife, Realistic, Caricature, Relief, Decoy/Bird, Fish, Chip Carving and much more. Raffle includes: carving tools & books, and Christmas Wreath with Hand Carved Ornaments and much more.

On site Vendors are Whittling Shack, Loess Hills Sawmill, and Van Kelly Carvings selling: Carving Tools, Carving Wood & Carving Rough-outs.
