Carving Shows

I usually try to go to woodworking shows/ demonstrations but few and far between its the traveling distance for me .I hate driving .

would recomed shows always some good demos and oftern good offers to buy some thing you dont really need.

The Duneland Woodcarver's Club puts on a nice show here in NW Indiana, but it's not till spring. I will see if the "carving bride" would like to spend a couple days in Dayton to check out the show.

Heading off to Dayton Ohio for the Artistry in Wood show. Wife and I are really looking forward to this weekend as we didn't make a fall trip with our camper.

Have a great trip. I would have love to been able to go. From what I have heard it is a great show.

Back from the Dayton Show and all I can say is WOW!. Over 300 exhibiters and a dozen vendors.

Santa was BIG at the show, from a carved stump to the top of a clothes pin and every size and shape in between. Some of the other carvings ran from walking sticks and canes, to wood spirits, cowboys, native Americans, soldiers, sailors, animals, birds, winter scenes, turned bowels, handcrafted cedar chests, carved gunstocks, pencils, thread spools, paint brush handles, popsicle sticks and on and on.....

My wallet is quite a bit lighter as well. Bought a Nibsburner, the Red Hot model, a Helvie detail knife, a couple Ramulson gouges, a set of diamond rifflers and a stock of Heinecke basswood.

If anyone ever gets the opportunity to take in this show I strongly recommend it.

Thanks for the heads up CV3!
