In the Community Free Space members of the Oxon & Bucks Branch of the British Woodcarvers Association were still hard at work after the other shops around them had closed. The club was formed in May 2005 by a group of enthusiastic amateur carvers together with tutor Brian Eastoe.

As in previous years visitors are invited to see the craftsmen at work, see some of their finished works, and vote on the favorite work created in the last year. They will also be in the Community Free Space tomorrow (Saturday 27th October). There is also a Poppy Festival on the Market Place.

I then went to the library and on the way up the stairs took a picture of the panel that the wood carvers designed for the 450th anniversary of the Abingdon Charter in 2006.
