Our woodcarving club, Santa Clara Valley Carvers, conducted a whittling demonstration at the Saratoga Blossom Festival, which the Saratoga Historical Foundation organized in June 2024. In the morning, club members set up the tables and brought wood carvings, and some spent the day enjoying live music and many arts and crafts booths.
Jim Phipps maned our tables full of handmade woodcarvings, from intricate figurines to cute ornaments carved by the club members. Visitors could see Jim’s whittling demonstration, ask questions, and learn about the craft.
The day was a success, with many expressing admiration for our work and discovering a new appreciation for woodcarving. We loved connecting with the community and inspiring interest in this timeless art.
Thanks to the Blossom Festival organizers and the club members for making this event memorable. We’re looking forward to participating in it next year! Please check our calendar of events and visit our booth at the next Festival if you can. Thanks!
