Tri-County Wood Carvers
Established in November 1983, this wood carving club was initially called the Springford Carvers, with founding members Jack and Ruth Lawrence of Springford; a small village approximately a 25-minute drive south of Woodstock. Having undergone a move to Otterville in the 1990s, the club decided to change its name to the Tri-County Carvers in 2002. Over the last two decades the members of the club have continued to be quite active, assisting with the development of the carving show in Caledonia which is now the Hamilton Wood Show.
