This biannual publication celebrates the preservation, research and restoration of historic furniture. Its multi-disciplinary approach brings together the perspectives of furniture makers, conservators and scholars to span woodworking past and present, with focus on pre-industrial tools and methods.
Issue 18 leads with a conversation with chairmaker Andy Glenn, delving into his approach to craftsmanship and the philosophy behind his work, including a discussion of his recent book, Backwoods Chairmakers: In Search of the Appalachian Ladderback Chairmaker. Drawing on his experience in the Colonial Williamsburg Joiner’s Show, Peter Hudson explores the observational skills and attention to detail that define a skilled woodworker’s perspective. Marsha Wilson-Johnson describes the history, techniques and contemporary applications of the art of pyrography.
Joshua Klein shares his experience of hand planing the floorboards for his house, making the case that taking the “long road” can be more rewarding than relying on machines to do the heavy lifting. Michael Updegraff examines the history and evolution of lumbering practices, shedding light on the tools and techniques that have shaped the industry.
Other articles include an in-depth analysis of a walnut stand from the late 18th to early 19th centuries, and an excerpt from the 1903 volume The Handyman’s Book, focusing on the use and maintenance of handsaws. A full review of The Handyman’s Book, highlighting its enduring relevance to the modern craftsperson, completes the issue.
