Oxford and District Woodcarvers 

The club was first formed as Oxon & Bucks Branch of the British Woodcarvers Association in May 2005 by a group of enthusiastic amateur carvers and tutor Brian Eastoe. Many of us attended the evening classes at Abingdon College, we were keen when Brian, also a member of the British Woodcarvers Association suggested the club. We were joined by existing members of BWA in  Oxon and Buckinghamshire.  The majority of us are hobbyists with 1 to 20 years experience.
