BTW, just spent the most wonderful week in NH at the Windsor Chair Institute making a Continuous Arm Windsor Chair. Had a ball and of course had to buy a lot of the hand tools necessary. The school is all about making these classical models of chairs pretty much from scratch with the authentic hand tools. I think you’d love it. Also spent a week in the Sierras in CA making “book jewels”, am totally hooked on metalsmithing now! Sorry for the lack of focus on second picture, it’s a scan so uneven levels make some of it less easy to see. Anyway, bought your book on conservation labs and brought it back to Italy with me, can’t wait to read it. Kath Thomas
