2010 Rochester Woodcarvers 34th Annual Show Carving Show Photos - click on the following links to see photos of the show.
Elinor Lamb - Featured Carver - Elinor Lamb was selected by the club officers as the 2010 Featured Carver.
Elinor began carving in 1979 after visiting a
woodcarving museum and learning about what could be done with wood.
While she started carving birds,
Elinor has
ventured into several different styles of carving including realistic
figures, caricature, chip, and relief. To give back to her community,
Elinor taught community education classes in
southeastern Minnesota, sharing her knowledge and skills with other
aspiring carvers. As featured carver,
Elinor
displayed several completed carvings throughout the show.
Raffle carvings - The 2010 Rochester Woodcarvers
show was supported by very generous
carvers offering their work to the club and those visitors and carvers
buying raffle tickets. The raffle generates the revenue we need to
offer free admission to the show - so no one will feel they cannot
attend. Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's show a success!
People's choice carvings - Rochester Woodcarvers Show visitors can vote for their favorite "People's Choice" carving at the show. The top three vote getters are selected to highlight the next year's show in advertising and other publicity. For 2010, Steve Murray won first place for his man reading a book, Gary Berg won second place for his two men talking at the Blarney Pub, and Scott Mogren won third place for his trio of woodburned crappies. Thank you to everyone who voted for their favorite carving! You play an important role in helping us pick your favorite carving!
