Participants:

Anyone who can carve the required four carvings. Caricature carvers, realistic carvers, relief carvers, etc. etc. Like all W3E exchanges, enthusiasm for carving is more important than skill level. The exchange coordinator, or the four participants, may determine a specific topic for each carving.

Within the bounds of reasonably good taste, the carvings may be whatever subject you wish to carve, unless the exchange coordinator determines, or the four participants agree to a specific topic for each carving..

Size is not a particular issue, but the piece should be of a size and complexity that would typically require 2 to 6 hours to complete. If you are really quick or carve smaller carvings, consider carving two or three.
