Open-Entry Woodworking Exhibit and Competition Emphasizes Urban & Salvaged Wood

[Dave G]

Open Call for Entries:
2nd Annual Woodworking Competition and Exhibit
"IT GROWS ON TREES--II"
Emerald Ash Borers threaten 700 million ash trees in Michigan and nearby regions. Can this wood be used for anything?  Can artists and craftsmen address environmental concerns?  Can woodworkers find value in "junk" wood?  Juried exhibit presents creative uses for local and under-valued wood.  The exhibit will travel to three or more sites in lower Michigan, June-Sept 2008.  Entry deadline April 30.  $1250 in prizes.
