Trunk Show at Los Angeles County Store

(Editor's Note: Join us every day for new posts from the web's best woodworkers. You can check out our past content on our new blog page.)

Have you been to Los Angeles County Store yet? It’s pretty new, located in Silverlake in that strip mall across from Akbar and Malo on Sunset. Everything in the store is made right here in Los Angeles. They even have a map on the wall in the back of the store that shows where each artist creates his or her work.

The store is also hosting a trunk show of my goods on Saturday, July 19th from 2pm-4pm. I’ll be selling current work as well as prototypes, samples, and discontinued items at a discount. I’ll also be bringing my famous choc chip cookies, so if you’re in LA, come on by and say hi!

Los Angeles County Store is located at 4333 W Sunset Blvd, LA.

C.C. Boyce grew up in Wisconsin and was always making stuff into othe rstuff. She moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career and is still in LA working as a voice over talent for commercials. In 2012, C.C. rekindled her love of building stuff and started the process of getting her Fine Woodworking and Cabinet Maker A.S. She just launched a project that combines her 2 great loves into one project: a webseries called, “Would You Woodwork?” Now if she could just incorporate the Green Bay Packers and cats into this somehow, she could fulfill all her life’s dreams.
