Although I don’t really participate in “The Wood Whisperer Guild” as an active building member, mainly because of time, I do retain a membership for the great content.  Recently, they became associated with Livestrong, and last year, Woodworkers Fighting Cancer managed to raise a donation of $10,000 dollars (USD) for the American Cancer Society.  This year, they are donating 5% of all proceeds from guild memberships to Livestrong.  If you have relatives and friends that are battling cancer (let’s face it, ALL of us do), this is something that probably relates to you.  If you’re a woodworker, use your talents to help the cause!  I’m proud to be adding my support for Woodworkers Fighting Cancer as a permanent fixture to this website.
