When art meets craftsmanship! ✨

This stunning live-edge bench, crafted right here at The MINT by member Kent Stallard, is a replica inspired by iconic woodworker George Nakashima . Kent built it using hand-shaved ash spindles and a locally sourced single-plank live-edge cherry slab, joined with traditional butterfly keys.

You can see it in person at The Hub right below Fran Bull’s "Lords of the Plain" mural—and it will be on display during Vermont Open Studio Weekend!

Whether you're an experienced woodworker or looking to learn how to use a lathe or joiner for the first time, our woodshop has the space, tools, and community to bring your projects to life.
