Tri-Cities Woodcarvers Club Rendezvous

We just returned from the Tri-Cities Woodcarvers Rendezvous in Kennewick, Washington. What a great time we had meeting new folks, seeing some old friends, sharing a laugh or two with a great group of folks. I was able to teach a class on Chinese letters and a class on feathers.

This letter says peace in Chinese. I did some others but for the class this was perfect.

This feather (about 8" long) was a great project for carvers. I had about 11 people in the class. I actually ran out of blanks. Several others wanted a blank, so I am going to ship some up to Ivan Brown along with some other things he wanted. The wrap is red, and the feather is white, with soft black and burnt umber for the upper tip. The face in the middle is done with burnt umber and soft black. 

The folks there at Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland) Washington, are some of the nicest people you would ever want to spend time with. We had a great time there going to their Rendezvous. If you want a no-pressure carving event, with some great instructors and awesome projects, check out the Rendezvous, in early June. You will have a great time.

A special thanks to Bob Gough, Lanny, Jerry and Judith Dilley, Ivan Brown, Arlene Spaulding, Barb Pentecost, Everett Koonts, Dave Disselbrett, Terry Pauley, Ron and Linda Lunde, and too many others to mention. It is a great time and we will definitely be back. This is our 5th year attending and learning. 

Thanks, TCWC!
