Best of The Northwest Show?!?? Hi All,
Just thought that I would let you know about the above mentioned show. It was listed in the events section of WCI. It was billed as a woodworkers show and I thought COOOL a show in my town...I gotta go...maybe meet some local and distant carvers and of course make lots of new friends....'it could happen!'
Well it was a total disappointment...The nearest thing I can relate it to is, the local arts and crafts venue 'Portland's Saturday Market'. Only this was way more upscale. (One guy had a furniture studio where in he made custom fit rocking chairs. In the studio his rockers go for $4900.00, but as a show special you could get one for $3500.00.) And not a single wood carver other than me in attendance. I was sorely disappointed, and more than half the exhibit hall was taken up by people and their products/services for sale that didn't have anything to do with wood.
OH WELL, I tried! LOL!
I got some stocking stuffers for my blushing bride...so all was not lost!
Chahlie
