The Guild was invited to participate in Belmont Historic Manor’s Open House on Sunday, November 10th, from 12:00 to 4:00PM.  This is an opportunity to share with the community the mutual benefits enjoyed between Howard County Recreation and Parks Belmont facility and the Guild membership.  We will have a table setup with membership and projects show pieces made by members from Belmont wood donations.

You can help in these ways:

• Help at the table speaking to community members about our interactions with Belmont, wood projects on display, and guild membership.
• Bring your completed Belmont Elm or Black Walnut project pieces to the November 2nd meeting and hand over to Gene Torrey who will safeguard them, transport to the Open House, and return them to you at the December meeting.

This is a great opportunity to interact with the community and show support to the Belmont staff who have provided the Guild membership with ample benefits.

Jeff Headley will be our guest speaker. Jeff is a renown creator, presenter, and writer specializing in building and restoring pre-1820 American furniture. He will present concepts that can apply to many aspects of your woodworking from thoughtful design to advanced joinery techniques. Save the date and join us!

Also, watch for a related special seminar announcement.  Seating is limited.
