Marvelous Maple
Saturday, February 1 | 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
We'll explore the many ways that the Shakers used this versatile wood. Although less commonly used among the Kentucky Shakers, maple was one of the predominant species used in the eastern Shakers' woodworking, showing up in everything from iconic oval boxes to kitchen utensils. We'll view and discuss a wide assortment of woodenware, furniture, and other maple-made items that showcase the Shakers' iconic design.
