22nd Woodworker’s Showcase
Classes. Competitions. Vendors.
Kids’ corner. The Northeastern
Woodworkers Association’s fine
woodworking exposition, held
March 23 and 24 in Saratoga
Springs, N.Y., had it all—plus a
great location. The show featured
seminars, tools, and materials for
fans of carving, turning, scrolling,
and furniture making, plus extras
like an exhibit of antique tools and
a hands-on pen-turning booth.
There was so much to do—both at
the show and in the picturesque
town of Saratoga Springs—that
it was hard to see everything
during the two-day show. For

Woodcraft and the world-famous Swiss
toolmaker Pfeil are celebrating their 50th
anniversary as international business partners.
Based in Langenthal, Switzerland, Pfeil
opened its doors in 1902 as a fabricator of cutting
tools. The company added carving tools to its product
line in 1942, and the tools’ superior quality soon
attracted a following among professional and amateur
carvers in nearby Brienz, a world-famous carving
center and home to the Brienz Wood Carving School.
Today Brienz students still use Pfeil tools and will
have about 100 tools by the time they graduate. Pfeil
continues to develop, produce, and expand its line of
carving tools, using state-of-the art technology and
time-tested manufacturing methods.
Felix Zulauf is the third-generation owner and
operator of the family-owned business; his daughter
Christine is also actively involved in Pfeil.
Woodcraft has expanded its Pfeil offerings to
more than 500 tools since the partnership began.
