Woodworkers Plan Special Show at Old Bethpage this Weekend

The Long Island Woodworkers will hold their 17th annual "Woodworking and Furniture Show" this weekend at the Old Bethpage Village Restoration on Round Swamp Road.

After being blown away by Hurricane Sandy last year, the show returns Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 9-10, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Admission is included with paid entry to the Old Bethpage Village Restoration.

The exhibition will include a display of skillfully crafted furniture, from Mission to Modern as well as a variety of handcrafted wood art. In addition, there will be demonstrations throughout the day by Woodturners, ScrollSaw Artists, Woodcarvers, and Cabinet/Furniture makers.

Free educational seminars devoted to woodworking skills will be given throughout the two days. Vendors will be on hand to help you select a variety of tools and accessories. The pre-owned tool sale and toy workshop, with free toys for the kids, will also be held.

For holiday shopping, visitors can stop by the gift shop for a selection of unique crafted items.

Founded in 1990, the Long Island Woodworkers is an association of 200 members who share a common interest in all aspects of woodworking.  Membership is open to persons of all skill levels, from beginner to professional.

In addition to the main club, there are special interest groups focusing on Wood Turning, Scroll Sawing, Wood Carving and Cabinet Making. The Long Island Woodworkers meet the first Wednesday of each month at the Brush Barn in Smithtown.
