Capital Woodcarvers Association
Below are icons to click on that will lead you to the exciting world of wood carving by the Capitol Woodcarvers Association (CWA) of Sacramento. We are a unique group of people who love to carve. Our members range from beginning to national award winning carvers. The fields of interest of our members is wide ranging and quite varied: caricature, cowboys, indians, animals, relief, chip, human figures, birds, and everything else you can think of that can be carved. Our members are more than willing to help others on their projects and show techniques for accomlishing what the carvers would like to do.
So ..... browse through our web site and enjoy yourself. Don't forget - that visitors are always welcome at our bi-monthly meetings, the business meeting as well as the carving meeting.
