Thursday, March 1, 2012: Special Gabberts Presentation
- Mike Danial, Stickley Corporate Historian, has created a new presentation solely for the
Woodworkers Guild of Minnesota called, "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Mike will comb through the
thousands of images of furniture sent to him over the past decades and the group will be tasked with
determining which ones belong in which category. If you like being a critic of other people's woodwork
but don't like to have them around while you are doing it, you are going to love this!
- Time and location to be determined.
- NOTE: Meeting is on a Thursday.
