Vermont Furniture Maker: Dan Mosheim and Dorset Custom Furniture
As the Vermont Crafts Council 19th Annual Open Studio Weekend approaches I thought you might want to get a sneak preview of some of Vermont's finest furniture makers who will be opening their studio doors for you next weekend.
Dan Mosheim started Dorset Custom Furniture over 30 years ago to pursue his passion in the design and building of exquisite custom furniture. He and his family and fellow woodworking artisans hand-built the studio they work in today in Dorset Vermont.
Dan's blog has become quite famous in the world of fine woodworking. I love reading it because he's always got a fascinating project going and he's very generous about sharing his insights, methods and photos.
Dan's projects are big and small, but always elegant.
I've looked everywhere for a photo of Dan that I could post here, but that seems to be the one thing he's kinda stingy about. He did post his CV online though and it's very endearing. I think you'll enjoy it.
Stop by and meet Dan and his family of talented artisans next weekend at Dorset Custom Furniture. They are some of the best in the business. Here's the map.
