Also, there's a bunch of other NJ carving clubs/related groups listed on the Colwood wood burner website (they're also located in New Jersey and they make great woodburners and supplies) http://www.woodburning.com/carving.asp#NJ Also, if you will look on the left side of this website under Carving Community, you'll find our carving club search info--it lists a lot of clubs, too. One specifically lists a South Jersey and it has a link: South Jersey Wood Carvers
