The WA Woodshow began Friday 3rd August and run until the end of Sunday 5th. I could only get there on the weekend when, as usual, I join my good friend Chris Vesper on his stand. The Show is packed with representatives of power and hand makers and sellers, with many ongoing demonstrations, as well as the maker's competition put on by my woodworking club. Of course I was there for that as well, having an entry in the Apothecary Chest.
I must admit that my first port of call was the Old Tool Preservation Society, where there were sales ... and I was a day late! Still, I managed to pick up a set of three as new pattern maker paring gouges by Marples with boxwood handles, along with a (matching) Marples boxwood 1/4" sash mortice chisel.

The Society usually has a theme each year. Guess what it was this year ...
