Teaching the Art of Rustic Furniture Making Using Traditional Hand Tools

"All the pieces I make are original designs using traditional hand tools and local or recycled wood. Primitive, rustic, or traditional furniture making is the "old way" which I seek to follow. I have participated in 22 juried shows, teach workshops and am entirely self-taught. When I'm designing and creating my furniture I lose all track of time."

Harry Felton offers instruction for beginning, intermediate, and advanced woodworkers.  Please contact Harry for workshop fees and additional information on workshops. Commissions accepted.
