As a hobbyist woodworker of one year I have enough experience to have a glimmer of understanding as to how much skill, experience, talent and hard work it took to make that. Truly exceptional and a joy to see. Thank you
Jeremy, as a graduate of Ryecotewood, although not from one of your classes, I enjoyed watching the interview & hearing from a furniture makers perspective, how the piece was made. Do you have any other videos of Andrew Whateley’s contemporaries? Some of whom taught at Ryecoewood ? Cheers Tim Noble Graduating class of 1988
Hello Timothey. Yes I missed you by a couple of years as I was first year tutor circa 1985/6. When you say Andrew Whateley's contemporaries I have uniquely documented the work of the 1970 British Craft revival pioneers (amongst whom I found myself) in my series Furniture Today Parts 1, 2 and 3 taking the contempoirary furniture scene up to 2013. Here is FT3 which I have offered free on UA-cam for the tim,e being as really the colossal effort should be paid for! : ua-cam.com/video/jrSpuxZwRvA/v-deo.html
At 14:02 Andrew says the shell is made from fiddleback sycamore quarter sawn from the tree. It couldn't be a more demanding timber for exposing glue lines, another example of the genius of this piece as the joins are perfect.
I always enjoy seeing those pieces, quite inspirational.
Thanks you Jeremy

A master craftsman, no doubt.

A genius, but what type of wood did Andrew use? Or did I miss it in the narrative??
