A while back, I was passed on an email with pictures from a Penn State student asking about the species of a log on display at a local bike shop. He wanted to know, because the log was the object of interest in a contest - guess the weight of the log and win a mountain bike. It looked like an oak, but I decided to stop by the shop since I go by it every day on the way home, just to confirm. See full story ...09/23/2013

On my way back from Pittsburgh, I stopped in to meet Earl and Connie Deemer. They live just a couple of hours from me here in Pennsylvania, and have been active IWCS members since the 1980's. This was my first chance to meet them, and they invited me in for a visit and a look at Earl's woodworking and carving. They graciously agreed to let me shoot a video of the tour so that I could share it with you on our IWCS YouTube channel. Enjoy!
