Hi

 

There's the APF this year in Sept, Woodfest in North Wales, Carve Carrbridge in Sept(bit far but in a lovely part of the world), they'll have the English Open somewhere (think it was Derbyshire last year although not sure).

 

All the above have chainsaw carvers right at the top of their game. You learn so much from just watching but I'm sure all will be very happy to have a chat as well when theyve no ear defenders on :-)

We would like to run a carving comp at our show this year and make it an annual event - so if anyone is up for running one I'm sure I can sort someone to come up with some prices.
