Massachusetts

I have been specializing in seventeenth-century reproduction furniture for about 20 years. My work follows techniques and methods from the period, all work is done exclusively with hand-tools. Oak is the primary timber used, pine, maple and ash are also used to a lesser degree.

Specializing in reproductions of 17th century furniture and woodwork

You will find a wide variety of antique tools at Falcon-Wood that have been selected for collectors, users, and various trades.

John Reed Fox has been designing and building fine furniture and accessories since 1979. His "one of a kind" and limited edition pieces have been exhibited at national juried craft fairs, invitational shows and galleries. Japanese houseware and architectural design is the major influence in his effort to create functional, decorative and elegant furniture.

Founded in 1933 to encourage the study and better understanding of early American industry, in the home, in the shop, on the farm, and on the sea. Whether you are a tool collector, a tool dealer, a scholar, a user of tools or just like finding out about tools, there will be something to interest you.

Preserving The Industrial History Of Franklin County, Massachusetts

My collector instincts are directed to finding hand saws with local (southeastern Massachusetts) hardware store marks, and 19th century patented American braces. The other tools are offered with the hopes that they will find better homes than the ones to which they were destined.

Japanese woodworking forums

We have built a school in Pepperell, MA to host Japanese crafts people to teach their crafts here in Massachusetts. We have sponsored many seminars in the past eight years. Our program is growing and we have a long term mission to teach traditional Japanese crafts here in America.

Exclusive purveyor of quality Japanese tools

I've been making fretted stringed instruments by hand, of unexcelled quality, for almost three decades.

Fine tools to enhance your skill and ability

Being a master chair maker I'm dedicated to making only the finest Heirloom quality chairs available. I offer a variety of beautiful Windsor reproduction chairs and settees. I run a small chair shop in Bryantville, Massachusetts where I work alone making historically accurate reproductions of antique originals. The method of construction and materials in my chairs are the same as used in the antique originals, using only hand tools in much the same way it was done two hundred years ago.

The shop today is a working blacksmith and woodwright shop. Fran Donnelly can often be found at the forge banging out hooks, fireplace cranes, hinges, or anything else you might need (except for horseshoes :-) On Saturdays, Steve Colonies and Greg Wolodkin are usually around as well. Drop by and be sure to ask, "What's he making?"
