hello everyone,just wondering if anyone out there has an interest in carving repro style english furniture,i have been making and carving this type of stuff for a very long time and i know if i lived the other side of the pond i would be able to sell tons of it! Here in the U.k its not so hot,even though we have the medieval buildings to furnish.Its a pretty thankless task over here but i will never give it up.

Eric, your furniture is beautifully well done. I'm sure that there are dealers over here that would really like to handle your work if you could get it to them.

Hello eric, WELCOME! My goodness your furniture is really nice. Your carving is very specialized for sure. If this is your dream and it sounds like it is, then don't give it up. Enjoy the fact that you can do it well.

Eric, welcome and glad to see your pictures. I share your enthusiasm for this style of work. How odd that your work is "not so hot" or "a thankless job" there. I am sorry as well as surprised to hear that.

The workmanship looks so authentic and well excecuted. I very much like the thistle design with flowers (tudor roses perhaps) that you incorporated to the doors on the cabint. Oak sure does look pretty carved.

Thanks for posting pictures, and please show us more.
Thor

Eric,
Your work is just beautiful. Hard to believe that there is not much of interest. But as it is with everything - when the right client comes around, he will spread the word and you never know what will come ....

Eric, your work is very impressive to say the least. I would be so lucky to ever get that good. Thanks for sharing with us.
