Title: Sawyers' Day 2015
Post by: EIEIO on January 13, 2015, 10:29:33 am: "Sawyer"
n.noun
One that is employed in sawing wood.

Last year we started our own holiday - March 19 is Sawyers' Day. We celebrated with an exchange of hand-made items with the woodworker theme - anything related to working with wood qualifies. Ornaments, signs, bowls, utensils, boxes, tools, plaques, signs, whatever you like as long as it has a sawyer theme.

I'm inviting any forum members that would like to participate. Send me an email with your forum handle, name, address, and email. I'll make a list and send each participant a name to send to. Then start thinking about a unique way to commemorate woodworking.

I hope we have a good list of participants this year. Send your info to RMHayes@RMHayes.US. Subject = "Sawyers' Day". I'll respond so you know I got your note.

BTW - March 19 is St. Joseph's feast day - patron saint of fathers and carpenters. But mothers are more than welcome!

I've gotten a few responses to Sawyers' Day (March 19), but I was hoping for more. This is a chance to polish your skills between the Christmas and craft show seasons and celebrate our own holiday. It's cold out there for a lot of us, but that just makes it a little more special. I hope you'll consider participating.

The cost of international shipping is rather prohibitive for me to send anything to other countries. ;)

I'll be sending grab bag mates on Thursday Feb 19 (one month before Sawyers' Day 2015). If you'd like to participate, email me (see instructions earlier in this thread).
