I’ve always loved seeing period depictions of woodworkers at work. To see the way their tools are stored, their posture while working, and even shop conditions brings these makers to life for me. I have for years been downloading images I found online when they were particularly interesting. It’s been helpful but I often lost track of where I got them. When I recently did a Google image search for an old painting, I realized upon clicking on it that it was hosted on Pinterest. I had never signed up for Pinterest because it seemed like there wasn’t much of interest to me. Lots of knitting and home décor stuff. But this time when I clicked to the “board” that this particular image was on (“pinned to”), I saw tons more paintings, drawings, and photographs of woodworkers that I hadn’t seen before. For those of you that don’t know, Pinterest is a website on which you can organize your favorite images you find online. After you sign up for a free account, you can view the collections of images from people with the same interest as you. For me, I’ve found a pile of pre-industrial woodworkers. I “pinned” them all on one board so that you can see them together. So, if you’d like to see this gallery of images, check out it out here. I don’t know much about Pinterest but I expect one of these days I’ll make a board of furniture images that I like. For now, check out these woodworkers.

Because natural world of wood is so perfectly unpredictable and varied, familiarity with tree types and wood grain is one of the most important skills of woodworking.

Stool designed by Charlotte Perriand for Les Arcs ski Resort, circa 1960, manufactured in France. Pinewood. In nice condition, with wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999). She was born in Paris in 1903 and attended the E´cole de l'Union centrale des Arts de´coratifs from 1920-1925. Charlotte Perriand designed furniture made of anodized aluminium and chromium-plated steel, showing it at the 1927 Salon d'Automne in Paris. After meeting Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand worked with him and Pierre Jeanneret until, 1937. The revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture designed by the three were presented as E´quipement de l'habitation (home equipment) at the 1929 Salon d'Automne where they were widely acclaimed. In 1930 the Union Des Artistes Modernes (UAM) was founded in Paris, a group that viewed itself as a countermovement challenging such establishment organizations as the Salon d'Automne and also advocated Art deco and Modernism. From 1931 Charlotte Perriand showed her own work solo there. In 1937 Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret collaborated on designing a mountain chalet of sheet aluminium, which they showed at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne and later they came up with plans for prefab houses made of aluminum. In 1940 Charlotte Perriand became a design consultant to the Japanese Board of Trade. She lived in Japan until 1946 and from then on Charlotte Perriand's designs reveal overtones of the Japanese feeling for form, as shown by the 1953 chair "Synthe'se des Arts". This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
