“The Wood Show" at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington through August 29 is a must see. Approximately twenty craftsmen have put their talents out on the floor and up on the walls for you to sit on, open and close, scrutinize, enjoy and even purchase.
This is the third year of the exhibition and it has drawn woodworkers from as far away as Texas and as close as your back yard. As you approach the gallery, you are greeted by Etlan Sculpter Jim Fort’s large flat whimsical faces speaking to each other out of their triangular mouths. The piece is appropriately titled “You don't say!”
A majority of the traditional pieces are made of walnut, as is the case with all three of Mark Pace’s works.
There is some beautiful grain in the doors of his Chippendale cabinet. Berkley Hobson's line and berry bible box is a lovely piece.
John Robson’s sandblasted Norway maple pyramid, reminding me of the texture of the Blue Ridge, but not the shape. The piece has a comfortable, time worn feel about it that would have been more success
