Graham Duncalf Furniture Maker
Traditional Methods in the Workshop
 |
 |
| Graham makes the furniture by hand in a compact, but
well-equipped workshop at Rose Cottage. You will probably see him if
you visit the showroom. At most times, there are Oak tree butts
stacked in the yard to season before it is used for furniture
making. While electric tools might be used in the initial working of
the wood, the finishing of joints and surface carving are done by
hand, using time-honoured skills acquired over years of experience.
These include intricate carving and adzing to produce the
traditional finish on such items as chair backs and table tops. |
