Reproducing a Corbel

摘要

A couple of years ago, my wife and I bought a house built in 1848. The building had been neglected for the past 30 years, and over the previous 100 years, a number of significant changes had weakened the structure. While restoring our new house, I discovered that many of the beautiful 19th-century details that I wanted to preserve were in need of repair. There were no significant historical interior parts left, but as a contemporary furniture maker, I was excited to restore the exterior to its original glory while remodeling the interior with a contemporary plan. Armed with a few old photos, some curious craftsmen on the payroll, and an enthusiastic architect, we had at it.
