The Furniture Society is coming to San Diego June 5 – 9 and we want to let you know about a few events that you won’t want to miss!
If you live and/or work in the San Diego area, join us and the local woodworking community for a casual get together with your fellow makers.
We’ll be the ones wearing the cool Furniture Society pins!

No registration required for most events. Just show up and enjoy!
