Master Carvers Association
The oldest association of wood and stonecarvers in the UK, the Master Carvers Association stands for the highest quality of work: professionally executed and delivered on time. It boasts a membership of over 40, about half being individual carvers and the rest employing a number of apprentices and trained crafts people. (United Kingdom)

The National Wood Carvers Association
The National Wood Carvers Association is dedicated to the interests of amateur and professional carvers and whittlers. NWCA's aims are to promote the woodcarving fellowship among its members, encourage exhibitions and area get-togethers, list tool and wood suppliers, and find markets for those who sell their work - in short, anything that aids the carver and/or whittler. Many distinguished professional wood-carvers in the U.S. and abroad share their know-how with fellow members. NWCA proudly lists several internationally famous authors of carving books on its roster.
