The stack is getting bigger! Lots of long grain cutting boards, some hefty end grain boards, even some wine caddies, all ready for finishing. All of these (and more) are headed to the Summer Made Fair in Caras Park in Missoula, MT on June 21.

We’re so excited to share the official poster art for the 2026 Missoula Summer MADE fair by Odd Hare Goods

This year’s illustration is full of charm and thoughtful detail, with squirrels in quilted vests caching pine cones, art supplies, and handmade treasures inside a tree stump cache hole, surrounded by mushrooms and local plant life. It feels playful, woodsy, creative, and perfectly fitting for a summer market in Montana.

We absolutely love the imagination and personality woven into this piece, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you in Missoula.

Mark your calendar and plan to shop the Missoula Summer MADE fair on Sunday, June 21 at Caras Park from 10am–4pm. Come explore 190+ artists, discover incredible handcrafted work, and spend the day supporting local makers and small businesses.

New item coming to in downtown Missoula, MT...herb st*****rs! Made from ten different wood types (five domestic and five exotic), these little hand sized utensils have several different hole sizes that make pulling herbs like basil, rosemary and thyme from the stem a breeze!

Just a little board to hang on my display at in downtown Missoula. It shows the end grain and the face/edge grain appearance of the woods I commonly use.

I just finished a quick refurbishing on one of my boards for a customer, and it looks brand new again! I'm happy to see that the board actually gets used because all to often I hear "they're too nice to cut on". All of my cutting boards are made to be functional. With a little tlc, they will last for years!

I got a little zealous sanding this large board, and went beyond where I usually stop. That ended up giving this board a super silky feel, which means I think it's better suited for a charcuterie board rather than just a cutting board. It measures ~14.5" x 15.5", made of maple and padauk woods. Look for it at The Artists' Shop in downtown Missoula very soon!
