Wood Week 2026
Overview
Wood Week is a thematic week that celebrates all things woodworking—from turning to carving, painting to sharpening, there’s a wide variety of skills and projects on offer, centered in hand tools and local woods. The Carver’s Conference on Friday, March 6 is a day full of free demonstrations, lectures, and gatherings open to the public. This year’s offerings draw from North House’s deep bench of talented regional artisans and include six brand-new courses. The week will include evening gatherings and presentations.
