Being a member of this
cooperative and elite group of craftspersons for almost 30 years has been very rewarding, even humbling at times. As I work alone in my shop, I know there is a collective presence that will never fail to inspire and give meaning to my travails. |

This chest of drawers
is probably a little smaller but proportioned after a piece built
around 1750 and attributed to John Townsend that I was immediately
drawn to from a 1995 issue of “Home Furniture” The
detailing is different but the joinery is probably very similar
. The drawers run on frames that attach to and stabilize the sides
using tapered sliding dovetails.
My forte is still solid construction furniture with all the challenges that it imposes using tradition based designs as a means of bridging generations of a timeless craft. |
