Every year, downtown Helena holds a
Fall Art Walk. And every year I tell myself, "Next year I'm going to build something to put in the Art Walk." Well,this year I'm finally going through with it!
I have been working on this table for about a month. I really like the contrast of walnut and maple. I finished the table in clear shellac. Shellac is pretty easy to work with and I like the way it brings out the grain in walnut.
This year is Helena's 29th annual Art Walk. The night is a bit of a kickoff to the holiday season. Downtown businesses host an artist or artists for the evening and people walk from store to store eating appetizers, drinking wine and beer, and hopefully buying some art. The night has always been a highlight of the fall for Cass and I. The
Helena Woodworker's Guild has generally put on a great show at the
Placer Building (a historic hotel downtown hotel turned apartment building). My table will be part of the guild's display for the whopping price of NFS (Not For Sale). Neither Cass or I are willing to part it at this point. I am just hoping to test the waters and get a little exposure. Maybe another year (baby steps).
