Join nationally recognized woodturner Kevin Felderhoff for two days of live demonstrations at the 2026 Klingspor Woodworking Extravaganza. Throughout the event, Kevin will demonstrate the techniques behind his signature Bark-Edged Flying-Wing Vase, along with a variety of other wood turned projects. As he turns, he'll share practical tips on tool control, design, sanding, finishing, and techniques that help beginning woodturners build confidence and improve their skills.

Kevin is an instructor at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, where he teaches Foundations of Woodturning. He is known for creating distinctive wood art that blends technical precision with artistic design. His work includes award-winning wooden footballs, handcrafted wooden cowboy hats—including a custom hat created for Sylvester Stallone—and acclaimed flying-wing vases.

Kevin's work has been featured twice on Fox & Friends Weekend—first during the Made in America segment showcasing his wooden cowboy hats, and later during the National Tailgating feature highlighting his handcrafted wooden footballs. He was also featured on Powermatic TV, where he shared his woodturning techniques and creative process. Watch the episode here: Powermatic TV featuring Kevin Felderhoff
