CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: 100 YEARS OF CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY

Bird Carving Workshop for Beginners

Join Master Carvers from the Pacific Flyway Decoy Association for a four-hour carving seminar. All the necessary materials, including a study guide and the best knives on the market, will be provided for this seminar. Short lectures with lots of hands-on carving will enable you to complete a Ruddy Turnstone.

Topics include where to get your supplies, how to use reference material, wood selection, and how to use hand tools and power tools. The price includes a one-year membership in the Pacific Flyway Decoy Association and a club directory, so you will know who is carving in your area. Pre-registration is required.
