On this episode, we dive into the highlights of two recent woodworking shows with one of our favorite guests, Wilbur Pan. Wilbur, a talented woodworker and passionate advocate for Asian woodworking tools and techniques, was a presenter at the "Woodworking in America" event this October. On the flip side, Kyle had the pleasure of attending the Texas Woodworking Festival earlier this month, where he moderated five panel discussions covering topics from chairmaking to design. Join us as we share insights, experiences, and stories from these fantastic events. Check it out!
