The Rio Grande Valley Woodcarvers, founded in 1983, meets weekly at 8:00 A.M. on Thursday mornings, October through March, at the Nomad Shrine Club, in Pharr, TX.  They come together to follow a common passion: woodcarving.  There is always another carver available to share ideas and give advice.  Carvers of any skill level are always welcome. Visitors are always welcome to look over a shoulder and ask questions.
