The first two photos are of the booth that the Vermont Woodworking School set up. All the pieces, with the exception of the coffee table on the very left were created by students. The work was impressive. The desk and side table in the front won 1st place in the student-apprentice division. The calligraphy wall cabinet was awarded 2nd place. A floating hall desk was awarded 3rd place. All the student-apprentice entries were from the woodworking school. The other photos are of some of the booths. I think that Kevin and I decided that we are more traditional in our personal choices, but there were many gorgeous pieces that will definitely look perfect in some one's home or business.
Did we learn anything from our time in Woodstock? I think we did. We have more questions than answers, but we now have an idea about some of the things we need to consider if Kevin is really going to open a shop to build custom furniture and other fine woodworking pieces.

| The featured guest was Stephen Saint-Onge. He is a native of Vermont and has appeared on TV many times doing home makeovers and has written for several magazines. He talked about the woodworking but he also talked about the fact that Vermonters have a resiliency that shows in the fact that the show still took place even though there was so much damage in the area after Hurricane Irene tried to have her way. Nobody is whining and asking for handouts. |
