NYFOA Chair Camp 5 with Windsor Chair Master Dave Abeel

摘要

Dave Abeel from Traverse City, Michigan has always had an interest in making furniture from scratch, particularly a wide variety of Windsor chairs, early benches and stools. Dave found that he enjoyed teaching others to build furniture as much as he enjoyed building the furniture itself. Over the years he has developed a furniture building system that allows even the least experienced woodworkers to successfully construct a piece of Windsor furniture in two or three days. Now he travels around the country in a van chock-full of benches, tools, supplies, and materials to selected locations where he "sets up shop."
