News Release

WARSAW — Wood-carvers will be gathering Saturday, Oct. 5, to exhibit their handiwork during the fourth Kosco Wood Carving Show held by the Kosco Wood Carving Club.

The free event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Senior Activity Center, 800 N. Park Ave., Warsaw.

Expect to see a variety of hand-carved objects, from small, intricate puzzles, toys and figures to larger items such as walking sticks, canes, a 3-foot eagle’s feather or a bust of a Native American.

Examples of all types of carving should be on hand, including carving in the round, relief carving, wood burning and chip carving, according to club coordinator Brent Julian.

Visitors can marvel at the carvings and chat with the creators, and anyone who might like to try their own hand at carving is welcome to sit down for some free lessons with club members when they regularly meet.

The club meets from 6:30-8 p.m. each Tuesday at the Senior Activity Center in Warsaw. Members include males and females, ranging in age from 13 to 83.

“Wood carving is something of a lost art,” Julian said. “A lot of people don’t do it or think they can’t do it, but you don’t have to be a carpenter or an artist.”

For more information about the club, call Julian at (574) 265-3114.
