People are often interested about what’s involved when I create a piece of hand-crafted furniture.  I wanted a way to share some of that creative process with you, so I started a photo gallery on Facebook (www.facebook.com). In this gallery, I display photos and comments about various stages of some of my projects.

For example, in a series of over 40 photos called the Stickley Sideboard Project, I show the creation of this major piece of furniture from the very beginning.

As I add to the gallery regularly, there are lots of opportunities to see what exactly is involved when furniture is  hand-crafted.

You can also interact with me, ask questions, and be entertained as I work away at my craft in the beautiful setting of Riverworks Studio in Nova Scotia.

To access my facebook gallery, you’ll need a free facebook account, which you can get at www.facebook.com Then search for Allan Rutherford. You’ll be able to distinguish me from the other Allan Rutherfords as my photo shows me, as usual, hard at work in the studio!

If you have any difficulties finding me on facebook, send me an email and I’ll try to help you out. See you in the studio!
