More than 100 carvers from 10 southeastern states will exhibit between 500 and 600 carvings in competition for a grand prize of $1,800. This year's theme is "The Wild Wild West."

The event will also include seminars, demonstrations, vendors for carving supplies, and selling of carvings by nationally-known carvers.

Tom Wolfe, a professional woodcarver from North Carolina who has written several books on the subject, will host a carving competition both days of the show.

The showcase is sponsored by the Charlotte Woodcarvers Club.
