Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member of SAPFM. I am located in western Massachusetts and my info and some of my work can be viewed at www.townsendreproductions.com.
Cheers, fran
 
Welcome fran, your place of learning? School by Edward Barnsley, and myself run in the same path? Was your John Bly the well-known UK furniture expert?

Thanks Joseph,
I studied with David Powell who apprenticed with Edward Barnsley back before they brought in electric power. David had a school with John Tierney called Leeds Design Workshops in Easthampton MA. I shared a shop in Fyfield England with a woodcarver named John Bye for 2 1/2 years in the 1980's

If this discussion was useful, there are twenty years of them here. Join SAPFM to take part — the forum, the journal, the magazine and the members’ gallery come with membership.
