Meetings

We meet each month in-person. An email is sent on the first of each month with details for the upcoming meeting.

We meet on the third Thursday of each month, per the calendar dates below at The Woodworkers Club located at 11910-L Parklawn Drive, Rockville, MD 20852.

In addition, when we meet in-person, we also hold face-to-face open carving sessions from 3:00-5:30PM prior to the meetings. Members gather informally and work on carving projects of their choosing and take the opportunity to socialize with other carvers.  Several members grab a quick bit to eat at local restaurants between the open carve session and the meeting and everyone is welcome to join.

The general meeting agenda is:

  • 6:30-7:00 – Setup, registration, Show & Tell setup, socialization
  • 7:00-7:15 – Business Meeting
  • 7:15-7:45 – Show & Tell
  • 7:45-9:00 – Featured Demonstration/Presentation

Our meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month.
