I live in Flagstaff, Az., about 150 Miles away, which is also about how far you will be from the Phoenix metro area, where I know there are some carving clubs.

to say, I know of no carvers in my immediate area, with the exception of the Hopi Kachina carvers. I think it would be safe to say that they have a somewhat exclusive club, but it never hurts to check it out. I also know that one of the winners of Woodcrafts Santa carving contest, was from Winslow. Also a carver from Winslow was recently written up in the local paper
www.azdailysun.com. He is in the process of carving an angel for RT. 66, to compliment a statue they have called 'Standing on a Corner' or something like that.
When you get there, send me an e-mail or something, I am just kind of carvin all by my lonesome, or maybe there really are other people chipping away close by. Time to start a club?????????????????????????????
