Many people sit around tables strewn with carving tools and woodcarvings in progress. Some are intent on their work, while others smile and talk together. Behind them are workshop walls with waterfowl decoys and more carving tools.
Two people (busy carving) are blurred but visible behind a rack of woodcarving gouges.
Carved as relief into a branch, a mustached man's face smiles.
Two unfinished nuthatches (carved in wood) sit on a table behind a carving glove and thumb protector, and in front of a finished (carved and painted) nuthatch and cups of coffee.
Thank you to the Green Mountain Wood Carvers who make this place a hub for learning and making. Your craft and your company inspire, delight, teach β¦and expand our collection!
Have you taken one of their workshops yet?

Prosecuting the Powerful
Historical data shows putting leaders on trial is a healthy democratic practice.
Sarkozy is going to jail but heβs not the first one. In our new dataset we track modern leaders who have been prosecuted by their own states. There are 215 of them. Turns out leader prosecution is a common & healthy practice in democracies. Full access link: foreignpolicy.com/2025/10/28/d...

Regal Turkey Vulture perched on a tree branch, seen in side profile. The branch extends into the background and branches off in opposite directions.
Description from Wikipedia: The body feathers are mostly brownish-black, more black around the head and neck, but the flight feathers on the wings appear to be silvery-gray beneath, contrasting with the darker wing linings. The adult's head is small in proportion to its body and is red in color with few to no feathers. It also has a relatively short, hooked, ivory-colored beak.
Calling all bird loving artists! This month's bird is the Turkey Vulture! π©· Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is Oct 29th.
