Mid-Atlantic Turners Expo

Beyond excited, and honored, to be presenting at MATE this year. It’s very professionally run and full of great demo and vendors.

From Mid-Atlantic Turners Expo:

🎉 Woodturners, Gear Up for Turning Magic at the Mid-Atlantic Turners Expo with our demonstrator from the Old Dominion: Steve Wohlgemuth of WoogWorks! 🔬 🔨 📸

🪚✨ March 13-15, 2026, in the heart of Virginia – where shavings fly and inspiration sparks! 🚀🔬 📸

Steve is a retired surgeon-turned-master-turner crafts personalized gems like premium pens, bottle openers, and baby rattles that scream "one-of-a-kind special"! 🎁 🔨 With his precise hands (no scalpels needed anymore 😉), Steve turns wood into functional art that'll wow your grandkids or golf buddies. ⛳👶

Don't miss his mind-blowing demo: "The Best Finish for Your Pens: Subjective Observation (Fake News) vs. Objective Data (Real Science)" 🔬 📸 ! Forget the 1,000 opinions from 100 turners – Steve's diving deep with scientific smarts! Using digital stereomicroscopy (up to 10X zoom! 🤯) and macro photography, he'll test ONE variable at a time: sanding speeds, grits, buffing wheels, and top products to reveal what really makes your wood or acrylic pens shine like a dream. 💎 🔬 No hands-on turning here – it's a slick PowerPoint packed with controlled experiments and eye-opening results! (He's wowed crowds at national events like Midwest Pen Turners Gathering – now it's YOUR turn! 🎤👏)

This ain't your average expo – it's a whirlwind of demos, vendors, and vibes that'll level up your lathe game! 🌟 But here's the VIP scoop: Snag the VIP 3-Day Weekend Pass for early Friday access, catered shindig with BBQ feasts (yum! 🍖), event tee, swag bag bursting with prizes, AND bonus raffle tickets! 🤑 Total value?
