Since 2003, The Sydney Woodcarving Group has joined in some large group projects involving members from every group. In 2005 the Noah’s Ark was finally raffled after 18 months of hard work, co-ordinated by Jim Lee. 23 pairs of animals who all fit into the Ark with Noah as overseer. This was raffled on behalf of The Children’s Hospital, Westmead. Our next project started soon after and proved to be an even bigger task. This was the Australian Heritage Chess Set, co-ordinated by Bill Longhurst . This project took approx. 2000 man hours and was worked on by 50 individuals! From the making of the box, carving and weighting the animals, chip carving on the board and decoration on the sides, all was done to perfection. The box was independently valued at completion at $25,000 and was raffled on behalf of the Sydney Cochlear Implant Centre. The hand carved mirror was carved by Master Carver Fouad Ibrahim and raffled at the 2009 Timber and Working with wood show. Our latest project was the Birds, this is made up of four panels, each carved at a different branch of Sydney Wood Carving Group and designed by Martin Anderson. Proceeds from this raffle were donated to Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia through the F5m (Foundation 5 Million) Organisation. |
