All woodworkers - whether they do only flat board work or specialize in carving, scrolling or turning - use a variety of jigs when they work on their projects. Please bring in 1-5 of the jigs you use and plan to discuss when you use and how you use your jig. If you can, bring some of the information on a separate piece of paper that can be used for the newsletter. This is always a fun evening. Remember, some of the simplest jigs are often the most useful! Not able to make the meeting in-person but have a jig to show? Send a photo and description by 3pm on Wednesday, June 1st to woodcny@gmail.com to have it included into the virtual display!
We love to see what you are working on so bring your latest to the meeting for our Show & Tell session. If you can't make it and have Show & Tell, send photos your projects via email to woodcny@gmail.com prior to 3pm on Wednesday, June 1st.

Photo from 2021 Beaver Lake Sale - We will have 2 booths full of product in Oswego!

One of the missions of the Woodworkers of Central New York is to contribute to the community in which we live, practice our craft, and enjoy. Children are the future for all of us and providing resources that can support children, especially those that are sick, is one small way members of the Woodworkers of Central New York can give back.
In order to fulfill that goal, members donate completed projects - ornaments, vases, bottle stoppers, ice cream scoops, nativity scenes, etc. - that are then sold a just a few craft shows regionally. The net profits are then distributed to a variety of local children's charities to help further their mission and offset costs.
The club will be selling at this show for the first time in 2022. We hope you will join us. Our next sale is not until September 10-11 during the Golden Harvest Festival at Beaver Lake Nature Center.

The Carvers demonstrate during the Golden Harvest Festival held the second weekend of September at the Beaver Lake Nature Center. In addition to demonstrating, they also hold a raffle with at least half of the proceeds going to the Friends of Beaver Lake. This year, they will be raffling a choice of big projects - an occasional table with carved blocks on the shelves and a walking stick. There will also be hourly raffles of stumpy toothpick holders. This meeting will be dedicated to working on these projects.
This session is in-person only. The meetings are held in the large room at the Nature Center and we are finished by 7:45pm but start between 5 and 5:30pm. Please bring your recent projects for our Show & Tell table.
