All Professionally Made to Order for Quick Shipping

Step back in time to the early 1900s, where the art of woodworking was a cherished craft. Inspired by masters like Andre Jacob Roubo, carpenters honed their skills with precision and dedication. In the depths of history, we find glimpses of this timeless trade. One such glimpse is found within the pages of the Book of Hours, vol 137, 2v from the 16th century. Bound in red velour and adorned with metal corners, it tells tales of skilled craftsmen who meticulously carved wood into intricate designs. Traveling across borders to Menorca, Spain, we encounter Pedro Pons Pons from Binirramet near Mahon. A true artisan at heart, he breathed life into his creations through his mastery as a woodworker. Captured on canvas are scenes that depict the essence of this noble profession. "The Wood Sawyers, " an oil painting from 1850-1852 showcases laborious hands shaping timber into functional pieces while "Woodsman during a Break" offers a glimpse into their lives amidst nature's embrace. However romanticized it may seem, not all stories end happily. "A Strange Suicide" reminds us that even those immersed in craftsmanship can face inner turmoil and despair. Yet amidst these trials lie moments that define resilience and camaraderie among lumberjacks. "The Dramas of Work" portrays brave souls facing perilous situations as they navigate towering piles of cut woods threatening to collapse upon them. Nature itself becomes an artist's muse as seen in "Figures by a River. " Here we witness woodworkers finding solace alongside tranquil waters after hours spent fashioning raw materials into works of art. Venturing beyond paintings brings us closer to reality - captured through colored photographs like "Lumberjack at Work" in Western Australia or immortalized through oils such as "Faggot Gatherers. " These images transport us back to eras where woodworkers toiled tirelessly, their creations shaping the world around them.
