For many of us who make Windsor chairs, Jonesborough Tennessee is a Mecca. Not because there is a treasure trove of antique Windsors, but because there is a treasure in Curtis Buchanan. This very unassuming and humble man has drawn many a Chairmaker, novice and experienced, to this beautiful little hamlet in the mountains of East Tennessee.
Down the gravel path, past his garden, is where the magic happens. This is where I am spending my week, learning from the man I consider to be the best. I will be writing more detailed posts on the class and my experiences during my time with Curtis, so stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteOh, ok, I guess you meant genteel. Just be careful, there is a big difference between the two words!
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I have been watching Curtis' videos on his website. Pretty cool. Hope you have a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind taking a class some day.
