The Naked Table Project 2013
Last Sunday August 18, about 110
people attended the 5th Annual Naked Table Project Lunch. The event was hosted
by Sustainable Woodstock and catered by the Woodstock Farmer's Market.
Michael Snyder, the Vermont Commissioner of Forests, Parks and Recreation spoke about the importance of forests in Vermont. He got a laugh from the crowd when he said "Wood is just one letter away from Food!"
Sally Miller, Director of Sustainable Woodstock explains about the lunch. This year it was a fundraiser for Sustainable Woodstock.

The
lunch caps off a weekend of woodworking where folks get to make a "naked
table" of their own to bring home, one table is even being shipped to California .

According to
Charles Shackleton "It is the
5th annual and the 16th that we have done, with 183 tables having been made, 18 of
them yesterday (on September 17) at the Shackleton Thomas workshop." In addition, Shackleton
adds "All the sugar maple wood was harvested at the Marsh Billings
Rockefeller National
Park ." The trees harvested were all between
80-100 years old.
