Fall 2009 Carving Show:

• At the October 18 meeting the Flickertail Woodcarvers voted to adopt North Dakota Songbirds as the show theme. If you wish to participate, select “Songbirds” from website toolbar to find a list of 69 different North Dakota songbirds. Click on the word “Available” for the songbird(s) you want to carve. We are hoping not to have duplicates. Due to space limits at the library display case your completed carving display should fit into a 12 x 12 x12 box. Also, feel free to do the male and female of the species you select. You may do more than one bird of the same species within the same exhibit. The birds can be painted or left unpainted. Please include some information about the bird selected. The bird exhibit will be on display at the Bismarck Library during the months of February, March, and April of 2010. The exhibit then will go to the Buffalo Museum, Jamestown, ND, on May 1 to the end of September.
