The directory is live, the community is gathering, and this next chapter is still wet clay. Leave your mark, join the founding list, and help shape the home base for chainsaw, ice, and wood carvers across North America.
The BUILD THE GUILD board is open. This is where the first members can help shape how the Guild feels before the larger launch push.
We are prioritizing the pieces that make the site useful every week: visibility for members, a cleaner competition pipeline, and better ways to discover serious carvers across the US and Canada.
If you know exactly what this community needs next, say it in plain language on the board. Specific beats vague here.
Open the doors, collect real demand, and learn what working carvers and collectors want the Guild to become before more layers are added.
Use the first 50+ founding members to decide which launch events, regional meetups, or competition features should ship first.
Create a clean path for brands, suppliers, and supporters to show up in a way that actually benefits carvers instead of cluttering the experience.
Once the first wave is in, we lock in the strongest community asks and start shaping the first event push.
Turn demand into regional grouping, featured spotlights, and more visible routes into the member directory.
Open the next layer for sponsors, tool brands, and support partners without compromising the Guild's core use for carvers.
Short notes only. Ask for what would actually help your craft, your business, or the wider carving scene.
Send them this page and stack the founding list with people who will actually use the Guild.
