Around a dozen woodworkers statewide will showcase a wide array of artwork depicting beautiful wildlife, flora and fauna and/or traditional Native Americans through the fascinating art of woodcarving, woodburning and woodturning. In the past, wood pieces, both artistic and functional, have included items like Nativity sets, winestoppers, salt and pepper mills, puzzles, fan pulls, lidded boxes, bowls, earring and napkin holders, and more.

Nearly half of the artists will provide demonstrations and talk with visitors about their craft. A children’s area will also be available where kids can carve bars of soap with various kid-friendly tools.

Many of the sculptures and entries on display will be available for purchase, and make great unique gifts. A percentage of the proceeds from sales will benefit the Eagle Creek Park Foundation (ECPF), a not-for-profit organization that strives to protect, promote, enhance and support Eagle Creek Park.
