Cabinet Maker

This is my favorite trade shop in Colonial Williamsburg. The quality items that flow out of the shop and into the historic district homes are amazing.
Located off the main drag of Duke of Gloucester on Nicholoson by the Military encampment. The Shop is easy to spot with it sunk in grounds and brook running through the bottom of it.
When I arrived a school group was finishing up. Some items on display as you walk in were made out of this shop. A few tables, grandfather clock and even textile material. Talks by the cabinet maker can be arranged in a group, or in small impromptu groups. There are no demonstrations. The work they do is real, with real orders. Most, if not all current orders are for in house placements in CW.
There are four working in the shop with one apprentice. The gentlemen that I spoke with had over 20 years experience. The final products they produce are nothing shore of breath taking. Hand made furniture is a complete lost art that few shops in the world produce.
As like most other trades I respect the amount of skill it takes to keep these old world methods up. Cool place that is a must to check out.
