Best resources for learning period technique?
After discovering Adam Cherubini's various writings, etc., I've become interested in learning more about not only period furniture, but also the construction methods and techniques used by 18th and 19th cent. artisans. I'm looking into the SAPFM (Society of American Period Furniture Makers) but would like to find a group dedicated to the methods, as well.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Allan
New forum for period techniques?
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been collecting a variety of books, but may have overlooked Greene's; and have been scouring for a copy of Moxon's tome -- one that's affordable. Adam Cherubini suggested perhaps the EAIA as a resource, but even he admits there's really no such guild around today whose purpose is the examination of methods and techniques of 18th &19th c. wood working. I'm on the SAPFM forum (posted a message on the Lone Star Chapter site), but the activity throughout all those forums is pretty sparse.
What would some of you folks here on the Neander site think about a forum dedicated to Traditional Methods & Techniques? :rolleyes:
Just a thought....
