California, MD / Tuesday, October 22, 2019 - Rob Seltzer, master furniture builder for over 20 years and owner of Herring Creek Furniture recently opened a new retail store showcasing his unique handcrafted furniture collection. Rob is well-known both locally and throughout the mid-Atlantic region as a talented artist in furniture design. Each piece is built to showcase the natural beauty of the locally harvested wood. Additionally, his materials may include reclaimed windows, doors, old tools, and wood weathered by nature.
On Saturday, November 2nd, Rob and his wife, Stacy, along with their children, Nathan and Sophie, will be holding a Grand Opening event and invite all St. Mary's County residents to join them as they celebrate this auspicious occasion.
The St. Mary's County Chamber of Commerce will kick off events with an official ribbon cutting at 10:00 AM.
There will be much to see and enjoy throughout the day. Several of the talented artists and craftsmen whose incredible work is available for purchase at Cecil's Old Mill will be on hand to meet and greet guests, and some like blacksmith Jamie Abell will be offering live demonstrations.
Bill Clements will be on hand to run the antique generator and answer questions about the sawmill and even occasionally sound the old steam whistle. There will also be local food trucks on site offering a taste of Southern Maryland to hungry visitors.
Herring Creek Furniture at Cecil's Old Mill is open Thursday - Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday's from noon to 5:00 PM. For any additional questions, call Rob Seltzer at 301-904-9900 or email: rnswoodworks@gmail.com.
Cecil's Old Mill was originally built as a cotton/textile factory in the early 1800's. Later, it was transformed into a grist mill and sawmill, but ceased operations in 1959. After some restoration work in 1976, Cecil's Mill Historic District was entered on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Today Cecil's Old Mill is home to some of the finest local arts and crafts in Southern Maryland.
