Here's a guy I've known and admired for 35 years. His work is in a league of its own. Allan has his school in Maine these days and spends the majority of his time teaching. At present, I can think of no 18th century carver I admire more than Allan. There are others I greatly respect but Allan does it sooo efficiently and cleanly its just astounding.

You can see an example of the work he does. If you like traditional carving, he's in the Mack Headley and Wallace Gusler class. Allan like Mack is a Cartouche recipient recognized by SAPFM- the Society of American Period Furniture Makers. I might add- we have a recipient here in NC Ben Hobbs. This an elite group of craftsman who have dedicated most of their lives to working wood at the highest level.
