Shop Update // July in Vermont
Big news!
Nick has been accepted into the Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers. It's a tremendous honor to be recognized by this talented group of master furniture makers. They have a combined four centuries worth of knowledge and Nick has a lot of questions.
We'll be busy this month setting up his page on the guild website. In the meantime, go check out the work of these talented folk.
Tea Tray
The Tea Tray is a new design and we're really happy with how they came out! Smaller than our larger dovetailed serving trays, these trays are perfectly sized for tea time. They feature mitered joinery with angled splines for added strength. Unique in size and character, each one has a different personality. We have a few up on our online shop now and more being added in the coming weeks.
Curly Maple with Walnut Handles
White Oak with Wenge Handles
Mahogany with Walnut Handles
Coming Soon: Walnut Serving Trays
Erin came into the shop a few Saturdays ago and took some video of a new batch of Walnut serving trays. A full video of the making process is coming soon!
If you like bobbing your head and watching Nick make furniture and you just can't WAIT until this next video comes out, rewatch our Maynard Desk video here.
In the meantime we have one more white oak tray in stock and up for sale in the shop.
Go on then! Get it!
The Online Shop
We also have a couple of White Oak rolling pins that are looking for their permanent home.
Close Shave
Here’s a clip that will hit you right in the satisfaction bone. This is a miter trimmer which Nick uses to get clean, crisp joints for the tea trays.
P&E At Home
When her eyes aren't glued to screens as a full time graphic designer, Erin has been continuing to pursue her love of baking bread from scratch and picked up a new passion: learning how to sew clothing! The house is filled with patterns, fabric, and the smells of fermenting sourdough and fresh baked bread. Fun fact: the shirt Erin is wearing in the tea tray photos was made by her.
She’s one hell of a woman!
If you live nearby, you might be lucky enough to get a loaf on the days that she's baking!
