Because of the Backwoods Chairmakers event in Berea, Ky., on June 2, we have decided to open our storefront doors here in Covington, Ky., on June 1 and June 3. This will allow travelers who are coming from out of town to stop by on their way to or from the event.
These days we keep sometimes-scattershot hours because we might be at the lumberyard, packing books at our warehouse or teaching out of town.
But on June 1 and June 3, we will be at our storefront (837 Willard Street, Covington, Ky., 41011) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to welcome you. We’ll have all our books, apparel and tools. Plus some blemished and returned books at half price (cash only on blemished books).
On June 2, Kale and I will be at the Backwoods Chairmakers event, documenting this once-in-a-lifetime gathering. We’ll also have a small table of chairmaking books for sale there. We will not have our full line of books at the event.
Either way, we hope to see you this June.

Somehow I’ve convinced my impossibly patient spouse that we can round up the family and take a trip so I can attend. Question is, I have two kids – a 3 year old and an infant. Do they need tickets of their own? Thanks
Nope. Kids are free.
This is fantastic news! I’m flying in late Saturday, but scheduled my flight later on Monday in hopes that I could maybe stop in to complete the pilgrimage to Willard Street. Hard to believe this event isn’t sold out!?! I wonder if there will be any copies of Backwoods Chairmakers for sale at the event…? Not that y’all need something else to do. Also a chance I’m the only one attending who hasn’t ordered a copy yet, but y’all have been keeping me so busy with these book sales…
We should have plenty of copies of Andy’s book on hand.
We are amazed this even isn’t sold out, too. It was announced late, which is likely part of the issue. Also, itis during prime graduation/end-of-school season. In any case, it will be amazing.
I’m shocked it didn’t sell out. I’d love to be able to go.
