Four inspiring days of listening, learnirg,and talking shop with fellow furniture makers fu' RandyJohnson ictoria, British Columbia, is one of the most beautiful places in North America. Located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, on the Strait ofJuan de Fuca and facing Olympic National Park in Washington state, Victoria was this year's host to one of custom woodworking's best events, the Furniture Society's annual conference, heldJune 20-23. I put this trip on my calendar months in advance, anticipating four engaging days of rubbing elbows with fellow woodworkers and studying outstanding new examples of fine craftsmanship. It proved to be that and much more. 35 American Woodworker ocroBER 2oo7 In case you haven't heard ofthis group before, the Furniture Society is really worth getting to know. It's an international non-profi t organ- ization. founded in 1996. whose mission is "to advance the art of furniture making by inspiring creativity, promoting excel- lence, and fostering an understanding of this art and its place in society." Society members, who number about 1600, come from across North America and abroad. They're furniture makers, designers and teachers. It's not an exclusive club though; membership is open to anyone interested in the craft. Over 400 members attended this year's conference, the llth annual gathering. Each conference has a unique theme. Acknowledging the special location of this year's gathering, the theme for 2007 was "Cultural Mosaic: Reflections from the Coastal Rain Forest." Victoria sits at the heart of one of North America's most highly developed woodworking traditions by Native Americans, or First Nations people, as they're called in Canada. Northwest Coastal carving is known worldwide for exquisite masks, figures, panels, bentwood boxes, boats, and, of course, totem poles. It's a craft that's still alive and well, and this conference was a special opportunity to hear presentations and attend demonstrations by Northwest Coastal artisans. But that was just a jumping-off point for los more woodworking.
