Why you cannot miss the virtual International Woodcraft Gathering which is coming in two weeks!
The preparatory team led by Julie Seton has been preparing the gathering for over one year.

The abstracts have been divided into four sections and they will be shown on ZOOM in those sections within Saturday, June 8, – beginning at 8 am US Mountain time/4pm Central European time and Sunday, June 9 – beginning at 6 am US MT/2pm CET.
