7th Annual Vermont Fine Furniture and Woodworking Show

Opens tomorrow ... Once again, its time for the Woodstock Vermont VWMA furniture show. I have participated in it for a number of years and this year we have several new pieces we are showing there. I wrote about getting started on them last Sunday, at which point we had barely begun, but we managed to get it all together (see photos below) and I dropped them all off at the show today. It looks like it will be another good one. I dont have my own booth, but instead, were exhibiting in the Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers booth, same as other years. Also this year, Cabot Cheese and the VWMA are sponsoring a booth, "Best of Vermont Showcase" by Lisa Laberge Interiors. Lisa has our walnut table and chairs there, our skinny console and a small side table from our Bethlehem Steel series. She has a good eye and has put together a nice room full of stuff.

Not finished yet, but shaping up ... Still needs some Miranda Thomas pottery and a piece from Charley Shackleton ... good stuff at that link ... check it out ...
The Guild booth in process...Lots to see there.
There are other local furniture makers who have their own booths there like Bill Laberge (Lisas husband), Chris Bowlen and Bob Gasperetti ... Sam and I are going to an iron pour at the Salem Art Works tomorrow, but we plan to be at the Woodstock show most of the day Sunday, talking to show visitors about our work. See you there I hope ...
