Supporting the Craft and the Community
At Woodcraft, we support the makers, woodworkers and creators of all skill levels, and we invest in the communities that shape the way people build and express their ideas. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor a variety of corporate initiatives that reflect our values of craftsmanship, education and service. From honoring Veterans through Turn for Troops to supporting trusted voices like Wood Talk and The Wood Whisperer, these partnerships help us connect more people to the woodworking tools, knowledge and support that bring creative work to life.
Wood Talk Podcast
Wood Talk brings woodworking to life with a mix of expert advice, shop talk and quick-witted banter. Hosted by Marc Spagnuolo (The Wood Whisperer), Shannon Rogers (The Renaissance Woodworker) and Matt Cremona, the show covers woodworking tools, techniques, trends and the occasional offbeat tangent. The trio blends deep knowledge of the craft with a playful, sometimes irreverent tone that keeps things fresh and engaging. Listeners tune in for honest opinions, practical guidance and the kind of camaraderie that feels like pulling up a stool in a friend’s shop. The show is also a helpful resource for those exploring how to get into woodworking, offering insight and encouragement alongside every episode.
The Wood Whisperer
Marc Spagnuolo, known as The Wood Whisperer, has built one of the most trusted and accessible woodworking resources online. Through a mix of how-to videos, articles and woodworking projects, he shares his knowledge with a teaching style that is clear, approachable and often humorous, making complex techniques feel practical and attainable for woodworkers at any level. With a focus on education and community, The Wood Whisperer has inspired makers of all skill levels to step into the shop with confidence.
Turn for Troops
Woodcraft is proud to lead and support Turn for Troops, a nationwide effort to honor U.S. service members and veterans through the craft of pen turning. Each year, Woodcraft retail stores across the country host a free event where volunteers create wooden pens and include personal messages of appreciation. You do not need any woodworking experience to participate. It requires only a willingness to help and a desire to give back. The pens may be small, but the impact is lasting. Since the program began in 2004, volunteers have turned and donated more than 250,000 pens.
