The Central Coast Chapter 7 of the California Carvers Guild will hold their 47th annual Woodcarving Show and Sale on September 18th & 19th, 2027. 

​​​

Many Chapter members as well as other carvers from around the state will present a wide variety of woodcarving as well as other forms of wood decorating examples such as whittling, traditional hand woodcarving, power carving, turning, woodburning, caricatures, animals, florals, bark carvings, stylized carvings, chip carving, gourd decorating and more. 

​​

Throughout the two days there will be carving contests on both Saturday and Sunday starting at 1 pm. On Saturday, the contest will be open to any carver including our novice carvers. The Sunday contest is reserved for those carvers that have previously won a blue ribbon in any carving contest. Contestants are limited to the tool(s) permitted and the allotted time set by the Contest Director. On Saturday the Contest Director, Dave Digman will give each of the participants a block of wood and give them assignment of carving something.  On the second day of the show Dave will do the same as Saturday, but participation is limited to previous blue ribbon winners.

 

Visitors have an opportunity to vote on “Peoples Choice” carvings that are be placed on the stage in the auditorium where visitors are given a ballot when they entered the show and told that they can vote for any carving that is on the stage. Winners of this contest will receive awards and they will be announced late in the afternoon on Sunday.
