This will be a great show. We are also hosting the AZ Gourd Society’s show, so it will be 2 shows in one. We will have demos, soap carving and a whittling contest. We have venders like Stadtlanders, Moore Wood Products and Buck and Sally’s. There is a concession stand on site. Bob Mau will be our featured carver. Carvings are due Friday March 6 from 11am till 3 pm. See you all there.

Annual juried shows
For all of you talented woodworkers/crafts people out there, here is an opportunity to show your work and compete for prizes. Wood carvings, small fine furniture pieces, wood turnings and wood sculptures are all a part of this great show coming up in February. Cash prizes and placing ribbons will be awarded for top contenders and participants in many categories, including a youth, intermediate and a professional division. Venders will be on the premises with specialty carving woods for sale, woodworking tools and a host of supplies for your needs. It’s an exciting show hosted by folks who enjoy woodworking and meeting like-minded people.
Every year we host an annual show, with other events where you can visit with carvers, see new work, and attend workshops!
