While I was back home visiting in Hartford a year ago this past spring I stopped off at Connecticut Valley Woodcarving located in Coventry, Connecticut. Although no one was home at the time (he's primarily internet and event based sales) I contacted him on my return to Florida and he was very apologetic at not being available and seemed really sincere about wanting to be helpful. He might be a goodsource for clubs and/or other carvers in your area. His telephone number is (860) 742-3253. His email is warren@ctvalleywc.com ... His URL: CT Valley WC Good luck!
