Northeast Iowa Woodcarvers

Who are we?

We are the Northeast Iowa Woodcarvers, a group of people interested in the art of woodcarving.  Our club was founded in 1970 by a Waterloo Dentist named Dr. Glenn Miller.  The club started out about 10 or 12 friends who shared a common interest in woodcarving.  Monthly meetings were held at the Waterloo Recreation Center, now known as the Waterloo Center for the arts.  Over the years, we have grown to roughly 30 members and we continue to meet monthly.  We also continue to host the annual Iowa State Woodcarving show.
