Furniture Construction and Design
The folks at WIA have lined up some of the best woodworkers, designers and experts in the world to teach dozens of workshops to help you hone your skills and knowledge of a variety of distinctive furniture styles.
Attend this year’s event, and you’re guaranteed to learn essential techniques for building many types of furniture — regardless of your skill level or how long you’ve been interested in woodworking.
The Furniture Construction and Design program includes interactive workshops and Q&A sessions on enduring styles that include Eighteenth Century, Arts & Crafts, Shaker, Contemporary and more.
Plus, you'll also discover how to use Google’s popular (and FREE!) SketchUp drawing program to give your drafting skills a big leap forward in our informative hands-on clinics.
NEW THIS YEAR ---
Hand Tool Olympics
To make you a more skilled tool user, we're holding a "Hand Tool Olympics" at the Woodworking in America Furniture Construction & Design Conference. During these friendly competitions, you'll get to show off your skills in a variety of hand-tool basics, including sawing, planing and joinery. And you can win great prizes just for competing!
(Need a coach? Competition staff will be on hand to provide training, tips and strategies.)
The Grand-prize winner will receive FREE admission to a future Woodworking in America Conference. The "medalists" in each category will win one of the tools used for that event. Plus, randomly selected individuals will also be awarded prizes just for participating. (Prizes are limited to one per attendee.) We'll also be giving away DVDs, CDs, books and magazines to participants throughout the two days of competition. You won't want to miss out!

And then REGISTER NOW for the 2009 Furniture Construction & Design Conference!
