Elves of Hope
For the past
three years, the
Cumberland Valley
Woodcarvers Club
in Chambersburg,
Pa., has teamed
up with the “Elves
of Hope” each
Christmas season
to provide gift bags
to cancer patients
going through
chemotherapy. A
2017 patient favorite
was handcarved
ornaments. Last
year, the Woodcarvers Club made a total of 70
ornaments; some patterns they designed and
some, said representative Kim Hykes, came
from “their favorite woodcarving magazine…
Woodcarving Illustrated
!”

25th Anniversary Quilt
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Wilson
Park Senior Center Woodcarvers and Burners
Club in Milwaukee, Wis., members created a
42" (1.1m)-square wooden quilt held together
by a shadow box and frame. The quilt, similar
to one created 25 years ago, includes two of the
original contributors, Harold Kinas and Frank
Penne. This year’s quilt incorporates relief
carving, caricature carving, chip carving, and
pyrography, and took five months to complete.
Both quilts hang side by side in the main room
of the Center.
The Wilson Park Senior Center
Woodcarvers and Burners Club was formed in
1992 with about 50 members. They currently
have around 45 members, with a wide range
of skills. Said spokesperson Ed Thomas,
“Newcomers are always welcome.”

Mystic Carvers Club
Looking ahead to the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower
voyage in 2020, members of the Mystic Carvers Club of
Mystic, Conn., have created a carving mosaic. The work
of 30 people, the two-sided piece comprises relief scenes
on the front, called The Pilgrims’ Odyssey, while the
back is chip-carved with the Mayflower Compact (The
Pilgrims’ Legacy). The frame represents the ship.
This display, along with two explanatory banners,
was shown at Plymouth, Mass., and was extremely well-
received by an audience of more than 600 people. It is
currently located at the General Society of Mayflower
Descendants House in Plymouth, where its travels to other
sites will be coordinated.
