The Virginia Lumber Cup

From Forest to Finish.

Building the Future of Virginia's Forestry Industry

The inaugural Virginia Lumber Cup is a statewide student woodworking challenge that connects young makers to craftsmanship, Appalachian hardwood, and Virginia's forest products industry.

With 40 Virginia schools already participating, middle and high school students are transforming locally sourced Virginia lumber into inspired woodworking projects that showcase their creativity.

Today's students are tomorrow's tradespeople, craftspeople, innovators, and industry leaders.
