Annual Design in Wood show...better than ever!

Post by john elder »

Some fantastic works in this year's show, representing every use of wood as a medium...just love this stuff! Too many pics, so not much orchestration here, but think you will figure it all out. Tried to get the description card with most pieces. Enjoy!

Speaking of all great things wooden, did anyone else notice the full size & running wooden auto on a recent American Pickers show?

thanks, Tommy! Box is pretty primeval in that crowd, but I had not submitted for two years, so thought I better get something sent in and that was what I had ready. This is just some of the displays that caught my attention the most, but there's lots more....will follow with more tomorrow.

...and Don, yes I saw that car on Pickers....that fellow was quite the artist! Would have been interesting to know him!

Tackle box is super Deke! The red tail hawk after the squirrel ain't to sloppy either. When did that poor guy find time to eat?

Wow, John. Anyone who says American craftsmanship is dead needs to attend that show. Thanks for posting.

PS That is one heckuva tackle box.
