Hot Off The Press

I rarely post about something that is current, but I found a package on the front porch when I came down for lunch yesterday.  Inside was the new issue of American Period Furniture, the annual journal of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers.  I have been a member of SAPFM for many years, and served a couple terms on the Society’s governing body.

Last year I was invited to be the banquet speaker for the annual Working Wood in the 18th Century conference at Colonial Williamsburg.  Since the SAPFM always holds their annual business meeting and banquet at this conference there were plenty of members in the audience that evening.

They must have liked the banquet talk because I was immediately asked to turn it into an article for APF.  I did, and it arrived this week.  I forget whether this was my third or fourth APF article.

I will be blogging about each the 10 exercises in the talk and article at greater length in the near future.
