The Woodcrafter participates in occasional shows.
 Now that I am retired
,
I am taking my work on ther road on very select occasions.
I keep an eye open for craft/art shows that offer customers with  the
potential to appreciate the difference between wood art and crafts.
If you know of any near the Philadelphia area, please drop me a note using the Contact Us link.

Hope he's taking notes.

The children loved watching The Woodcrafter turn the toys.
Enlightening 2007
A Wizard Camp for Families

The Woodcrafter (AKA The Old Trader), and his family, participated in Enlightening 2007 where he opened
The Old Traders Wand Shop [with the Legendary Wand Collection].
He also presented classes on wand making and the magic of wands where he talked about several aspects of wands, woods, magic, and how they all relate to the Harry Potter stories.
The E7 site (click title above) tells about this fantastic camp which was sponsored by
Bonding Over Books (BOB).
The camp was at the University of Pennsylvania and ran from
Thursday July 12th through Sunday July 15th.
