Get ready for an exciting, jam-packed weekend—this October in Wilmington, Ohio
“Artistry in Wood is a perfect name for the show,” said the well-known intarsia artist Judy Gale Roberts about the Dayton Carvers Guild’s annual event. “The show encompasses so many woodworking techniques—carving, pyrography, fretwork, intarsia, woodturning, and combinations of all five skills.”
Judy was just one of several scrolling celebrities at the 2017 event. And you can expect scroll sawyers at the 2018 event held Oct. 13-14 at the Roberts Center in Wilmington, Ohio, as well.
In addition to displays and vendors offering a variety of woodworking projects, tools, and materials, the event features a competition with cash prizes for woodworking projects—including a scroll saw category.
At the 2017 show, Curt Blosser took home both First Place and Best of Scroll Saw Category for his chess set, made using a pattern by Dan Wilckens that appeared in Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Fall 2017 (Issue 68). Bruce Shea won Second Best of Category with a red, white, and blue scrolled bowl. Erick Ortiz won the Deitz Religious Award for his cubist depiction of Jesus, as well as Third Best of Woodworking for his eagle head portrait. Vickie Schaub was a winner as well, taking a prize for her angel intarsia, made using a pattern by Kathy Wise that appeared in Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Holiday 2015 (Issue 61).
Over the course of the weekend, there are also free demonstrations organized by Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts and Woodcarving Illustrated. Scott Phillips, host of The American Woodshop, usually shows off some new tools. The other demos range from general woodworking to carving to scroll sawing.
Last year:
Wayne and Jacob Fowler, the father-son scrolling duo from Toronto, Ont., displayed their work and signed copies of their new book, Woodworker’s Pattern Book, in the Fox Chapel Publishing booth.
