Woodworking places of interest in the Memphis area?

[Gary Herrmann]

Going to be in Memphis next week. I've heard where to go for BBQ. How about woodworking?

The Woodwork Shop is a decent place, and they routinely have demos. Nice guys, too. http://www.thewoodworkshopinc.com/

2 years ago, I would have told you to visit Colco Woods, a fantastic lumber retailer. Alas, their elderly owner decided to retire and liquidate instead of sell the business, and we lost a heck of a resource.

If you are in town over the weekend and interested in taking a class, there is a great option about an hour away at Old English Furniture and Cabinet Company. Mike is a great guy and outstanding teacher. http://www.oefcc.com/
