Voluneers sought to build rustic furniture

FORT CLATSOP, Ore. Fort Clatsop, where the Lewis and Clark Expedition spent the winter of 1805-1806, is looking for volunteers to help build rustic furniture for the rooms in the rebuilt fort.

Furniture to be built includes rustic bunks, benches and tables from small logs and rough planks.

The furniture will be used by reenactors, park rangers and park visitors.

Superintendent Chip Jones says it is a good chance for parents or grandparents to give kids a hands-on experience with history.

Volunteers are needed every Saturday through June and every day between June 10th and June 20th.

No experience is necessary, but experienced carpenters are needed.

Gloves and safety glasses will be provided.
