Gene Landon Classes at Olde Mill - 2007

[Tom M]

Bess at Olde Mill Cabinet Shoppe just sent out an e-mail listing projects for 2007.  I put together the attached pdf file showing the ones Gene Landon will be teaching.  Olde Mill hasn't gone "public" with the information yet (dates, etc), but Bess said she wouldn't mind if I posted this.  I figure SAPFM members might be interested in seeing what will be offered.  Bess should have additional information on her web site in January.

I scanned pictures from books for some of the projects, and had pictures I took at Gene's house of the corner cabinet and cellaret.

The cellaret pictured is an 18th century piece which had it's legs cut off.  Gene made new legs based on a very similar cellaret shown on the cover of "Treasure of Independence" by Milley.  When I first saw Gene's I thought the brass pulls looked plain.  I was surprised to see the cellaret in the "Treasures" book had similar pulls.  I took measurements of Gene's, and got myself pretty confused until I realized it was an original 18th century piece.  The wood varied in thickness from 3/4 to 1" - on a single piece!  I'm also including a scan from the "Treasures" book.

Enjoy,
