Antlers in August: Our Mesquite Furniture with Antler Accents

PLEASE NOTE: No deer were harmed in the making of our Mesquite Furniture! ALL antlers used in our Mesquite Furniture are collected White-tailed Deer sheds. These antlers are NATURALLY shed in the spring and a new set is regrown each year on the typical White-tailed buck.

 We thought the Antlers might be an appropriate subject as Llano "The Deer Capital of Texas" gears up for it's annual influx of Deer Hunters.   This FALL is once again filling up fast for Lou Quallenberg Studios.  We are very proud to announce that Lou's work has been juried into the Llano Historical Museum's "Western Trappings on the Llano" a 77 day Exhibition & Sale held inside the museum. The Exhibition will showcase 71 Artists from 3 Countries and 15 States.  We have listed the artists with active links to their websites on our web site HERE: Western Trappings on The Llano. It Grand Opens alongside the 9th Annual Llano River Chuck Wagon Cook Off and the 24th Annual Heritage Festival and features a Live Public Auction of Artwork donated by the participating Artists to benefit the Llano County Historical Museum. The show also spotlights 12 Bronze sculptures by the Internationally known Western Artist Jay Contway.  
"Western Trappings on The Llano" runs from October 18th through January 4th 2014 and is creating quite a stir in town. Don't miss it.
  
We also hope to Jury into the Texas Furniture Makers Show  and get a new piece finished in time for the October 31st - November 30th Show.  The Application was sent out today and they release the "Participating Artists" on Sept 6th. So cross your Fingers!
