The San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association would like to thank all those that have made this year's Design in Wood the best show ever. Most of all, we would like to thank Bob Stevenson for the wonderful, tireless job he has done as the Coordinator. Without Bob, the Show would not go on. Thanks, Bob.
The show could not have happened without the tireless efforts of Heidi Reinholz of the Del Mar Fair Exhibits Office.

We would like to thank the Bob Crawford at the San Diego Maritime Museum for allowing us to use his facilties to construct the many display units. And, we would like to thank the B-Street gang for making those display units.

We would also like to thank Bob's Aprentices, Ed Gladney and John Crum, for putting on great demonstrations of antique woodworking tools.
This exhibition of fine woodworking is provided under the direction of the Del Mar Fair Exhibit Department and the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Associatin with cooperation from American Woodworker Magazine, Fine Woodworking Magazine, The San Diego Woodcarvers Guild, San Diego Wood Turners, and The San Diego Maritime Museum.
Finally, we would like to thank all the members of the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association who put the Show on- from building every display, moving tons of materials, setting up the show, manning the Show and building chairs in the 19th Century Chair Shop. Again, without your help, the Show could not have gone on.
