CHIPS FROM THE PREZ
The month of April has not
been kind. The illness of Dolly
Barth, whom we all love (say a
prayer for her) and my personal loss of my friend of 41
years, Al Bower makes it hard
for me to write anything
happy.
However, there is some
good news. At the Quilceda
Carvers show Richard LaPlante
entered his Roman and Greek
Warriors in the Expert class
and came away with a "Best of
Division" for one of
them. Way to go , Richard. I
haven't heard how anyone else
did, but I did hear that my
entries got second place,
which seems to be my comfort
zone.
May 9th is the Capitol
Woodcarvers Show in Olympia, also
May 9th is the
“Art of the Carver” show in
Abbotsford, B.C. May 15-16 is
the Northwest Driftwood
Artists show in Bothell, WA
and May 23-24 is the Richmond Carvers Society show in
Richmond, B.C. Let’s give
President ~ Bob Harkness
them our support by attending. For more information on

INTERNET NEWS
I hope we have some nice
weather now that will
bring on the May flowers.
And if you have the moss
out of your lawn and your
garden planted maybe you
have some time to surf the
net. Here’s a web site that
I found interesting. Read
down the Navigation Table
to where it says Painting
Softly. As you click on
each picture of the Santa it
explains the process of
staining the carving with
artist oil paints and boiled
linseed oil. Has anyone
tried using this method?
There is also an article on
carving eyes along with
other interesting “stuff”.

And we have another one
concerning some Maple
wood.
Sent: Saturday, March 28,
2009 9:01 AM
I have had some maple tree
rounds in my yard for about
four months with the intention of using it for firewood.
The other day my motherin- law said that it would be a
shame to use it for firewood
because she thought it could
be used by wood carvers.
Some of the rounds are in
exess of 36" across and there
are a couple of pieces that
will be near impossible to
split because of the amount
of knots in it. Do you know
any one who is in need of
maple like this? What is the
value of this wood to a wood
artist? Let me know if you
have any information and I
appreciate your time. Thank
you.

WHAT IS THE PNCAC?
The Pacific Northwest
Carvers Advisory Council is
an organization comprised of
individuals who are interested in
becoming judges in support of
the various carving clubs in
Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah,
Washington, and British Columbia. It takes an active role in
developing a judges training
program to ensure their availability for judging shows
throughout the Pacific Northwest. And one of the primary
goals of the PNCAC is the promotion of woodcarving and
recognizing the accomplishments
of the carvers.
A qualified or certified judge
must be a dues paying member
of the PNCAC and adhere to
their Code of Ethics.
They
should work with the club show
chairs to encourage uniformity
and adherence to PNC Guidelines and Standards and make
recommendations on entry classifications and color coding. As
a member of a club the judge can
make suggestions or proposals
that may benefit carvers and lead
to the improvement of juried
shows and competitions.
PNC JUDGE STATUS
Apprentice: A person who’s
skill level is at Intermediate or
higher, has attended the PNC
provided training and has elected
to participate in the apprentice
program. These individuals may
be ready to judge immediately,
but desire to gain more experi-

ence and knowledge in the various divisions of carving competitions prior to performing as a
shows official judge. Clubs are
encouraged to allow apprentice
judges to participate as judging
understudies to the official
judges of a show. The apprentices shall make their own contacts with clubs or the scheduled
judges of a show and request
they be allowed to act as an
apprentice judge.
attended the PNC provided
training and has elected not to
participate in the apprentice
program. These individuals consider themselves to be highly
competent and are confident in
their ability to be an official judge
without further understudy. The
PNC encourages clubs to select
judges from the Qualified list of
judges, but a club or show committee may desire to use judges
from the Certified list.
To advance from the Apprentice level the individual must act
as an apprentice judge for a
minimum of three shows, but
could remain as an apprentice
for as long as they desire. When
the requirement of performing
as an apprentice has been completed and in order to be listed
as a Qualified judge the individual
should inform the PNC Secretary in writing and provide the
names of shows in which they
participated as well as the names
of the Qualified judge or judges
with whom they worked.
To advance from the Certified level the individual must
perform the duties of an official
judge in a minimum of two
shows. When this requirement
has been met and in order to be
listed as a Qualified judge, the
individual should inform the
PNC in writing and provide the
names of shows in which they
performed their responsibilities.
Qualified: A person whose
skill level is at Intermediate or
higher, and has previously
worked as an official judge at
carving shows or exhibitions, or
has completed the requirements
to advance from being a certified
or apprentice judge. The Qualified Judge is the recommended
level for clubs or show committees to use in selection of show
judges.
Certified:
As judges perform their duties they will develop their own
following and reputation among
the clubs. It is therefore in the
best interest of the individual to
be as objective as possible in
making a personal evaluation
using ones own experience and
ability to judge fairly and competently.
This information on the PNCAC is
copied from a recent updated
publication received by the club
from the PNCAC.

Development of Carving Excellence
One of the goals of
the Pacific Northwest Carvers is
to encourage you to improve
your skill and your craftsmanship. PNCAC regulations provide you with an equitable and
fair show arena in which to compete, but it is up to you to develop your knowledge and skill
as a carver. As to be expected,
judges look for increased skill as
the carver advances. For this
reason, as the carver increases in
skill, the judging becomes more
critical and places additional
attention upon the total carving,
including the habitat and overall
presentation. The increase in
expectations is reflected in the
following descriptions of the
levels for placement of carvings
into a juried show. The descriptions for the carving levels of
Beginner, Novice, Intermediate,
Advanced, Expert, and Master
Carver are continued on the
next page.

Development of Carving Excellence Cont.
BEGINNER ~ JIM REEVES
BEGINNER: At the beginner level, the carver is learning the use of the basic tools.
The beginner learns how to
use the tools by practicing
fundamental cuts and observing their relationship to
the grain of the wood.
Awards and critiques at this
level are for encouragement
and growth; projects are
simplistic in nature but intended to set a carver on a
path of growth and knowledge of wood carving basics.
NOVICE ~ IRENE CORBIN
NOVICE: A novice carver
has grasped the basics of
carving and uses a limited
variety of tools. The novice
learns to create form in
their work, and the need for
effective presentation of the
carving. A certain degree of
eye appeal is necessary to
earn awards at this level.
Critiques by judges reflect
encouragement and the
generous use of all levels of
recognition including honorable mention.
INTERMEDIATE ~ ED MAH
INTERMEDIATE:
At the
in term e diat e
l eve l ,
a
carver’s skill is scrutinized
more closely.
Attention
must be given to creating
artistic presentation. The
carving is expected to be a
more difficult or complicated work than at the novice level. The intermediate
carver understands the basic
carving techniques, uses
tools with confidence, coordinates a habitat, and includes more detail in the
carvings than at the novice
level. In addition, painting
and finishing of the carving
takes on greater importance
and contributes to the overall artistry of the piece.
ADVANCED: The advanced
level carving reflects creativity, difficulty, craftsmanship
and accuracy. Awards are
more difficult to achieve, as
the expectations are higher.
The Advanced level carving
also reflects excellence in
carving, finishing technique,
originality, and a presentation of the piece as an art
form.
captures its essence and has
advanced the art of carving
with new and innovative
creations.
The Expert
carver could display expertise in one section or a variety of sections.
MASTER CARVER: Achieving Master Carver status is
the pinnacle of carving expertise. Master Carver is
not a level of competition
but rather an honor bestowed on an individual reflecting their achievements.
The Master is able to produce Expert carvings in several styles and sections of
competition.
To achieve
Master Carver status, a
carver must earn the Expert
designation in at least four
(4) of the six (6) sections of
competition plus a minimum of one blue ribbon in
each of the same sections
while at the Expert level.
EXPERT: The expert level
reflects excellence in the art
of carving. Technical and
artistic attention and care
are reflected in all areas of
the piece. At the Expert
level, the artist more readily

4-10-09 General Meeting Minutes
Following the potluck the
meeting was brought to order
by the President at 6:45pm
with 32 members present.
Special Presentation:
Bob
Harkness announced that we
will be giving Life Member
status to the following members: Thomas Andy Feroy,
Raymond Olsen, Harriet Puttroff, John and Joan Schmit,
and Dick Weber. Along with
our gratitude we offer these
member free entry to all
shows, events, and meetings.
No dues will be collected in
the future to maintain their
membership. Congratulations
to you all and a Thank You
from the membership!
Our gratitude and thanks
were also offered to our Charter Members: Carl Boe, Don
Church, Dale & Jenny Hess,
Vern Hess, Jim & Mary Madden, Dorothy Quade, Carolina
Spring, and John & Marilynn
Urback.
Program: Richard Mazza gave
an excellent presentation on
how to carve the beautiful and
mysterious fan bird.
With
written directions and materials provided carvers were able
to follow along with the demonstration and create their
own fan bird. Richard prefers
Basswood of the options available locally and we all know he
makes wonderful birds with it.
The rough outs provided were
made from a 1/2“ x 5” x 2”
piece of basswood and were
boiled for 15 minutes to prepare the wood for carving.
Among his tips: use a sharp
knife, keep the wood wet at all
times, and practice a lot.
These are an excellent project
for public demonstrations.
Good job, Richard – Thank
You.
Business: Kay Lang asks that
any member who is willing to
conduct a seminar or demonstration at the November
show get in touch with her.
There are still a few spots to
be filled.
Vicky Rowe launched the new
“I Helped” raffle program. A
copy of the rules is attached.
We hope that this program
will encourage more member
participation while also rewarding those who already
contribute.
A reminder was given that the
club picnic will be held on
JUNE 13th at North Lake Park.
Bob Harkness continues to
work on obtaining non-profit
status for the group.
Finance Report: Dale reports
that tonight we collected
$16.75 for the coffee fund, $66
for the raffle, and $1. for name
badge fines. We have a check

Show and Tell –Betty Miller
shared an adorable basswood
“Welcome” placque featuring
a birdhouse – she got the pattern from a stamp. Steve
Preece surprised us by pulling
a cute little tupelo chickadee
right out of its hiding place in
a block of wood. Tricky little
chickadee! Richard Mazza
presented the Haida flute , a
bark log cabin, a completed
birdseye maple flute with an
ebony orca fetish, a walnut
flute with turquoise inlay
(which sounded great) and in
progress a bamboo flute with
a Navaho design. We finally
bullied Patty Johnson in to
bringing in one of her paintings and we are happy we did.
The work featured a fruit
basket painted onto composite wood. The painting cleverly made it appear to be
made of large tiles. We’d love
to see more, Patty! Paul
Langston showed off his pyrography skill with an 18 x 24
image of an actual barn in
California which he created
for showing at the Puyallup
Fair. Dale proudly displayed
his 18 wheeler including the
latching rear door which won
Best of Division at the Kitsap
Show. Way to go, Dale! He
also showed us his scrolled
butterflies in several woods
and patterns… Dale sells
these items.
Bob Harkness brought us his
completed Barefoot Monk, a
character he calls “The Bookkeeper” and a new duck – an
American Widgeon drake. I
think he was also begging for
duck carcasses.. but check
with him to be sure.
Richard LaPlant showed his
completed Greek and Roman
Warriors in their helmets –
these have earned so many
ribbons I’m not sure Richard
can keep track anymore –
they have also catapulted
Richard into the expert class –
we all knew he belonged there
– Congrats Richard! As an
extra bonus he also presented
his work in progress – a multilevel relief which includes a
flute player and several animals.
The raffle was held and the
meeting was adjourned at 9:30
Respectfully submitted:
