ARTISTRY IN WOOD SHOW is November 12 and 13. Over two hundred carvers and woodworkers will be displaying and selling their creations. Carvings will be entered in competition to reveal some of the best carvings for this year. Plenty of tool and wood vendors will be available for any carver’s needs. The WOOD BEE CARVER will be located in booth # 1022 so come by and say “HOWDY.” If not this year then plan on next year as this show should be on anybody’s “bucket list.” The Santa holding the “30th Year Artistry in Wood” sign will be the tree topper on a tree loaded with carved ornaments. The tree is one of the raffle prizes.
The first annual BUCKEYE WOODCARVERS ROUNDUP will be held July 27 through July 30 at Poor Farmers Campground near Piqua, Ohio. During these four days of informal classes carving students can experience a wide array of carving instructors to try their hand at different carving subjects and themes. There will be over twenty experienced instructors, tool and wood vendors on site as well as non-carving classes.
A ROUNDUP is a relaxed and informal way to participate in daily mini workshops and classes to experience various styles and types of carving. Participants can join any of the workshops for an hour or two , for the whole day or come back for a second day. Workshops are on a first come basis with the only cost being for the carving project and a donation if desired for the instructor as all instructors are doing this on a volunteer basis. A twenty dollar participation fee is good for all four days to participate in as many workshops as one chooses. Workshops will include chip carving, bark carving, small figures, caricatures, ornaments, chainsaw carving, Santa carvings, jewelry and a variety of subjects. Read the rest of this entry »

Carvers from all across the United States will be represented while the quality and variety of carvings and woodwork provide something for anyone’s aesthetic appreciation. Carvings entered into competition are of the highest quality providing the visitor with a sense of awe at the beauty and creativity of each variety of carvings.
Tool vendors and wood suppliers will be available to offer whatever the carver needs to enhance their wood carving and working experiences. Demonstrations, youth woodworking activities, special exhibits, door prizes, raffle and silent auction add to the visitors’ interest.
Artistry in Wood is easy to find following the map at the left and there is plenty of free public parking with admission of $7.00 a day or $10.00 for two day pass. There is plenty to see and do and if one has never been, then this would be a good year to come and see for yourself. Come early, stay late to experience wood carving at its best. When you come look for me in the southeast corner of the Expo Center and we will talk woodcarving (as if there was any other subject worth talking about.)
