2010 Indy Woodworking Show meeting pictures have been added to the website Image Galleries.

The Indianapolis Woodworking Show has gone very well so far! Our booth had crowds of interested on-lookers. There were great conversations and lots of excitement from both young and old. Duane Leach turned a large winged bowl that had a large number of spectators (waiting for a crash...that never came). We had excellent demos running all weekend long. Thanks again to all those that helped plan for the event, setup, staff the booth, tear down, etc. etc.
