I thought you might like to see some of my other handiwork of a non sewing nature. I have migrated over to Webshots so as to increase the size of the photo hosting ability and therefore feel compelled to fill up my albums with some of my other interests. The Furniture album contains some of the furniture that I have made for myself and my wife over the years. All of it is made with traditional joinery. Dovetails and Mortise and Tenon, and no plywoods or other modern materials. Made as true to the 18th -19th Century Style as possible. Mostly by hand but with some machine work to reduce the boards to a workable thickness. The other album is my Needlepoint. I have been a great fan of the 19th century design maven William Morris for many years. I have completed a number of pieces based on his work in mostly 14-18 point canvas and wool. Mostly made into pillows but some Wall hangings. I hope you enjoy them. I tend to be someone who is rather private about my life, but the internet is one place where it seems that you can reveal yourself without to much blow back.
