OPPORTUNITIES
For the last decade, every January Tom begins pondering what kind of piece he will build to exhibit at the New Hampshire Furniture Masters annual auction. This group of 30 or so artist-craftsmen will hold their 11th annual event in Ocober of this year. New for Tom is his position as Chairman of the group this year. Since December he has had the privilege of holding this leadership role, and he is enjoying the honor, and privilege to be entrusted to do so by his peers.
This year Tom is planning to build a wine cabinet or round stone/mahogany center table. The piece he plans to build is available for patroning.
Participating in the auction process up close is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who loves wood, art, and might enjoy the collaborating over a custom piece of furniture with a career craftsman. Anyone interested in seeing the sketches Tom has worked up for this year's piece, or would like to discuss this process further with him may contact him by e-mail or by phone: 603-783-9700.
