Testimonials

• “As soon as WIA 2012 ended I knew right away I’d be back for 2013! I learned so much and made many new friends.” - David Picciuto, 
• “I can say, without a doubt, that WIA has advanced my hobby of woodworking more than I can measure.  The people I’ve met, the skills I’ve seen demonstrated and the knowledge I’ve gained have made me a better woodworker.  I can’t wait until this October to experience more, share more conversation over good drinks and good food. And you can quote me on that!” - Sean Wisniewski, MWA Toledo, Ohio Chapter
• “Attending WIA changed how I work with wood.  It is one thing to read articles and watch videos; it is another to be in the room with these knowledgeable instructors and have your questions answered right at that moment.  Everyone was helpful and encouraging, the event is high energy and builds camaraderie.  I can't wait to go again in October!.” - Wendy Neathery-Wise
