re: Getting Started Building Furniture

Take a trip up to Virginia and visit CLore Furniture in Madison Virginia.
They have been making classic designs out of hardwoods for over a century.
Go to be inspired and to get the feel of real wood.

I have a large number of pieces, some from my Grandparents, some from my parents made by Clore and I even added an additional corner cupboard to match my mother's and you can't tell which is fifty years older than the other. That's what classic furniture can be.
