About Us and When We Meet
We believe in "Teaching, sharing and promoting the art of wood carving" so please come visit us at the shop and especially at our annual show where you will witness some truly awesome pieces of art. A LITTLE HISTORY In 1973, Livermore, CA. was the home of a small gathering of carvers. Group functions were held in "The Barn" at that time. In 1977 things had changed and finances became a factor. The growing membership moved to Pleasanton, CA. We were the fifth group to join the now thriving California Carvers Guild.
