And, of course, the annual Student Competition pieces will also be displayed. The theme for the booth this year will be woodworking joinery. We will want a collection of unglued woodworking joints to display. Volunteers will explain the joints and demonstrate techniques for making them. Six volunteers will be needed to staff the booth each day from August 29th through September 3rd, so mark your calendars and plan to help out.
Volunteers receive a free parking pass and free entry to the fair that day.
Scott Abels, the Chair for Volunteer Activity, will be starting his list of names soon. Gilmer Wood in Portland now has a web site. Check it out next time you're in Ashland. As in recent years, in lieu of an August meeting the Guild will sponsor a members' picnic and cookout at the Magness Memorial Tree Farm. This will be held jointly with the Carvers Guild on Saturday, August 18th.
