The Artistry in Wood Show in Dayton Ohio is one of the largest shows of its kind in the nation and is sponsored by the Dayton Carver’s Guild.  The artistic handcrafted talents come from more than half of the states in the U.S, and also from Canada.  Inside the Dayton Airport Expo Center, you will find more than 300 booths and 225 exhibitors.  It may take you at least the entire day to view it all.  So come for both days to enjoy the seminars, demos, drawings, education, and comradery each year on Veterans Day weekend.  There is a hands-on children’s woodworking area with many knowledgeable helpful instructors, and what event is not complete without good food!

I went to the show for the second time this year.  There is some amazing stuff there.

That's awesome Roy! Did you meet any celebrities?

I read about this. What an honor to have bestowed on him. I enjoy the show him and his wife did also.

It really is a good show. Not being a Scott Phillips fan, I'll reserve commenting on that particular aspect. But I went to the show last year even though I'm not a carver, and there is quite a few displays of flatwork and turning, especially pens. Great time; and yes, I did run into Scott while I was there (or he ran into me, take your pick). This year the show got past me, I was intending to go but had something happen that kept me away.
