Throughout the winter, the group meets at the Laura and Val Matthews shop off of Ershig Road in Bow. They drink coffee, chit-chat, and build beautiful, heirloom quality toys like boats, barges, educational toys, xylophones, and pendulum cradles that the women’s quilting guild made bedding for. Washington Alder LLC on Farm to Market and Targo Hardwoods on C Street in Bellingham donate most of the wood that is used. John Braun plans on creating a second group at his shop off of Lilly Lake Road so even more toys are donated next year. If interested contact him at lesjbraun@gmail.com.
Both Laura and John, certainly community minded folk, volunteer their time and resource to the Bow Little Market as well. Support these woodworkers, and keep your dollars at home this holiday season by shopping with them at the Bow Little Holiday Festival.
