How to Start a Wood Carving Collection:

Wood carving is a tried and true hobby that attracts all sorts. The finished products of wood carvers attract a fan following of their own. There is something undeniably lovely about the simplicity of wood and much to admire about the skill with which wood carvers transform it. If you have ever thought about having a wood carving collection, now is the time to start it
Instructions:
Package Included:- Take advantage of eBay (see Resources below). This is the one of the best places to start your collection as you will have access to carvings from carvers throughout the country and even the world. Search the "Arts" and "Woodworking" categories, or just do a general search for "Wood Carvings" from the homepage to find what's for sale on any given day
- Go to the flea market. Local wood carvers find flea markets a natural choice for selling their goods. You can find some one-of-a-kind pieces for your collection here, and you'll usually get to meet the artist, ask about the pieces and find out more about wood carving in general
- Attend a fair. Crafts fairs also bring in wood carvers from surrounding areas. State and county fairs are also good sources for wood carvings, as most of them include some sort of exhibit venue with vendor space that is made available to local artisans. Find fairs in your area by checking your local newspaper
- Ask for referrals to local artisans at a wood carving supply store. Since these are specialty stores that attract a very specific clientele, the managers get to know their customers. Managers of these stores often have contacts among the local wood carving community and can tell you who in your area makes the kinds of pieces you are looking for
- Consider picking a theme. Although you may start out purchasing items purely because you are attracted to them, you will often find as you go along that your collection will be more rewarding if you specialize in a certain type of carving (e.g., carvings organized by subject matter, type of wood or artist)
