The National Wood Carvers Association (NWCA) began publishing its official magazine, Chip Chats, in 1955.
Our library holds over 70 issues of Chip Chats, but the collection isn’t complete. Old issues of the magazine are becoming exceedingly rare, so any old copies are especially valuable. If you have spare copies or know another club with duplicates, please consider donating to complete the collection. Contact us at contact@santaclaravalleycarvers.org or drop them off at our next meeting.
Our club and its members regularly contribute articles to Chip Chats, and you can view a curated list of those submissions here.
Below is a table that marks the issues we already own (✓) and the gaps we need to fill. Issues featuring our club are marked with this book symbol 📖. Incomplete issues with missing pages: ⚠️. We have a few duplicate issues, marked as “x2”, that we are open to exchanging for missing ones.
