Initially created by Sustainable Woodstock volunteers working with Shackleton-Thomas furniture makers, the Naked Table project allows anyone to make their own tables out of locally harvested, sustainably grown Vermont sugar maple. For many years, this event was an annual fundraiser for Sustainable Woodstock run by Shackleton-Thomas during which participants build and finish their own Naked Table over the course of the weekend. To educate the table makers to the complete chain of production, the participants were taken to the woodlot where their wood was harvested and the sawmill where it was sawn. The weekend concluded with a banquet of local food, often held on the covered bridge in the heart of Woodstock Village.
