In Competition 2024, carvings by familiar names and up-and-comers showcase a wide variety of bird species, poses, and settings. While master carvers present work that is consistently stunning, carvers at the advanced, intermediate, and novice levels also deliver pieces that command respect—and occupy well-earned places in this volume. There’s something to admire in every carving. Some of the work is so realistic, you might expect it to take flight!

Featuring more than 100 pages of full-color images, our annual Competition publication presents the best of the best throughout the bird carving world. It’s a tradition that can’t be beat, and something that carvers look forward to all year. We’re proud of this year’s publication—and we’re betting that you’ll be impressed, as well.
