Members of three message boards work together to create wooden quilts that were auctioned off for charity

In March, after the devastating earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan, members of the Woodcarving Illustrated, Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts, and Pyrography Online message boards banded together to help.

Within a few months, members from around the world had contributed dozens of carved, scrolled, or woodburned 4" by 4" squares.

The magazines’ staff assembled the squares into three quilts and auctioned them on eBay. The three quilts raised $600 to benefit the Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts in Japan.
