The highly figured native flame birch seat. The turned and hand painted birch legs. The Maine state bird, the black capped chickadee with her clutch of turned and hand painted eggs. This biennial event is an amazing exhibit of the highest quality craftsmanship and design. I am honored to be part of the collective.
