The Naked Table Project

07/27/2023

Unfortunately due to flooding of both our building and our state capital, Montpelier, we are forced to postpone the Naked Table event. Our state capital as well as the Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity office have experienced catastrophic damages and are in the process of recovering. A new date has been tentatively set for June 2024. Thank you all so much for your understanding and involvement in supporting our local community. We are Vermont Strong ❤️

Space is still available for the Naked Table Fundraiser, ShackletonThomas's community-driven event. Proceeds benefit the Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity.

Come make your own table using sugar maple sustainably harvested from Senator Patrick Leahy's land, in a celebration of sustainable forestry, woodworking, and a shared meal. We are honored that Senator Leahy will be the guest speaker at the dinner.

The cost for the experience is $2500, which includes your table made by up to six people and two places at the celebratory locavore dinner. Additional dinner tickets are $65 each.

All funds raised from the event and dinner will be donated to the Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity.
Sunday, September 24th

We still have spots available for our 2023 Naked Table event. Dinner and table building reservations can be purchased via the website. This event is a day full of fun- a forest walk followed by building your own table finished off with a beautiful catered picnic with proceeds donated to Habitat for Humanity. An opportunity you don’t want to miss out on!

Our tickets for the 2023 Naked Table Project are now available for purchase! This year the event is taking place on the Statehouse lawn Sunday, September 24. The Naked Table event is a full day of fun divided into three parts.
1. The forest walk where we see the sustainable harvest of maple trees.
2. Table construction. As a group we build our tables.
3. Finally, the most important step - DINNER! We celebrate a full day of festivities by sitting down at the newly built tables for a locavore feast.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to gather and create together as a community. All proceeds go towards Habitat for Humanity. It’s an amazing event you wont want to pass up!

Coming this fall! Join us Sunday, September 24th on the State House lawn for the annual Naked Table Project.

The Naked Table Project is a non-profit that builds tables with and for communities across New England. This year we will be donating proceeds to Habitat for Humanity.

The tables will be made from Vermont’s iconic Sugar Maples with a focus on responsible forestry and local harvest. Come with us as we build in our workshops, walk and learn in the woods, and celebrate over a locavore feast upon our tables — a true forest to table!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

We take our commitment to sustainability seriously here at ShackletonThomas, which is why we started our non-profit - The Naked Table Project.

The Naked Table Project () builds tables with and for friends and families in communities across New England. Every table is made of Vermont’s iconic Sugar Maple which has been responsibly managed and locally harvested. We build in our workshops, walk and learn in the forests, and celebrate over a locavore feast upon our tables — forest to table.

Each piece in the Naked Collection is made from the iconic Sugar Maple harvested in the forests we visit in our workshops. Conventional harvest methods frequently include deforestation and wood sourced from far reaching destinations, leaving behind a massive carbon footprint. Not sustainable at all!

We seal the tables with Vermont Natural Coating’s whey-based finish, developed in a partnership with University of Vermont. Not only does using Vermont Natural Coating’s in our workshops ensure the table is completely non-toxic with minimal environmental impact - we're also supporting local businesses and research.
