New Brunswick Woodworking: The Ultimate Combination Using Both Nature and Art.
Since New Brunswick is 85 percent covered in forest, New Brunswick woodworking is a popular hobby for many people and serious business for others.
If you want to find a unique wood based piece of art then you will need to get off the main highway and explore the rural roads, this is where you are bound to discover some of the many talented people that reside in this province. Many artists who use wood as their medium aren’t large enough to be able to advertise or distribute their products at a wholesale level, therefore they are limited to their own home-based location and rely on word of mouth and the traveling public to sell their wares. Unfortunately, most of these artists require a “real” job to pay the bills and the woodworking is a hobby that provides a little extra cash on the side. That is why there are so many incredible and unique woodworking pieces… this is their passion. Some artists are fortunate and can obtain exposure to the public through local gift shops, some top attractions gift shops, local convenience stores, local farmers markets, hotels and motels. Not everyone is able to do this. Casey’s Museum and Campground in Sheffield, has a lovely gift shop and restaurant that is packed with local artists wares including some forms of woodworking. Browse the arts and crafts as you wait for your lunch to be cooked.
