January 8th Presenter – Mark Madden

Woodcarver Mark Madden believes there is something mystical and magical about owls.

Creating something out of a block of wood which people want to touch the feathers to see how soft they are or if they are real seems somewhat magical as well.  He became fascinated in wood carving after seeing a carving of a Saw-Whet Owl in a Gift shop in North Conway, NH where his parents lived. The idea that it was just a piece of wood totally amazed him. His obsession with owls and woodcarving was born at that time and has been woodcarving since 1992

He lives where the Great Horned and Screech Owls can be heard at night and the Snowy Owls come to visit in the winter.

Please join us at our January 8th meeting for this fascinating demonstration and show of Mark’s work.
