If you are a student of natural and rustic furniture design you are probably already aware of the Western Design Conference which is an exhibition and sale of the works of the best new and established American and Canadian artisans in the genre.
One of the exhibitors in the 2008 show was John Gallis from Cody, Wyoming. I found this video about John and thought you might enjoy it. The website for his company, Norseman Designs West, contains a gallery of his various furniture creations which can be inspirational.
This year the Western Design Conference will be held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming from Thursday, September 10 through Saturday, September 12 so if you are going to be in the area, check it out. You might also want to visit John's shop in Cody. It's only just down the road - at least by Wyoming standards. Enjoy!
