Woodworkers Share Time and Talent for Endowment Home

Members of the Greenville Woodworkers Guild (Greenville, SC), are in the process of crafting a number of items for the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities’ (the Endowment) recently renovated headquarters.  “We called on the volunteers at the Guild to help us re-purpose some items we salvaged from the old building that now serves as our home and to make a few things from surplus hardwood panels that would make the space more usable,” said Endowment President Carlton Owen.  “We couldn’t be more pleased with the result!”

Among the items completed are a small “break table” mounted around a metal support column along with movable stools that once were permanently fixed to the floor of the former Little Princess Restaurant.  (See related story dated June 22, 2011 and the Blog dated June 3, 2011.  The Greenville Woodworkers Guild, a not-for-profit (www.greenvillewoodworkers.com), was founded in 1981 by five woodworking enthusiasts.  Today the guild boast nearly 700 members who volunteer their time and talent for community projects throughout the Upstate of South Carolina.
