The wood lovers' weekend was a great success for this guitarmaker. Aside from getting the opportunity to show the public how I hand-carve parts for an archtop guitar, I also got to meet some terrific woodworkers: woodcarvers, woodturners, luthiers, even broadaxe-wielding timber hewers. And all in the beautiful and inspiring setting of an old wooden barn by the St. Lawrence river in a mid-nineteenth-century town. Thanks to all the visitors, staff and volunteers who made it such a memorable weekend.
