Join us for a weekend of inspiration, education, and community as we gather to celebrate traditional Japanese woodworking.
Our annual festival, held midsummer in central Maine, brings together the best of the Japanese woodworking community along with beginner and seasoned woodworkers to share experience, learn from tool and technique demonstrations and workshops, and compete in a contest to pull the thinnest shaving from a Japanese hand plane.
Check out the 2023 event page to see what we did last year!
