Blake Loree and Stan Beckworth won in the “Best Traditional Style” category for their Lotus Settee. Loree works out of Blake Loree Fine Woodworking on Gholson Road.

He has been a serious woodworker since 2011, and honed his skills during an “intensive” two-year apprenticeship at the Heritage School of Woodworking, affiliated with the Homestead Heritage community near Waco.
