Bluster Bay Woodworks

The 2013 ANWG NW Weavers Conference Marketplace Mall will be June 20-22, Carver Gym, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA.  During the next few weeks we will continue to feature some of our outstanding merchants on our blog. 

This week we are featuring Marketplace Mall merchant  -- Bluster Bay Woodworks.

In the woodshop at Bluster Bay Woodworks the sawdust is flying and the tools are whirring as we busily make shuttles for the 2013 ANWG conference. Typically, we custom-make shuttles, one at a time, as orders are received. But, in the months preceeding an event such as ANWG we make batches of shuttles for our vendor booth display.  (Check out the photos below!)

A vendor display gives us the welcome opportunity to offer shuttles made out of beautiful woods that we acquire in very small quantities – quantities too small to list them on our website. So, shoppers at conferences always get to choose from shuttles made out of woods not ordinarily available from us! 

We also will have several Bluster Bay umbrella swifts for sale in Bellingham. The demand for our shuttles has increased our workload in the woodworking shop. Although our swifts are quite popular, we now can only make them if and when time allows. This spring has afforded us a bit of time, so a few will be available at 2013 ANWG!

We are looking forward to seeing old friends as well as meeting new ones in Bellingham. We are always glad to take along items to fill special requests, so if there is something we can take to ANWG for you, call us at 208-263-4600 or email blusterbay@gmail.com and let us know!

See you in Bellingham!  Terry Lavallee & Kristie Sherrodd
