Easels

After
30 years of building houses I spent the next 10 years
making new furniture and repairing antiques.
Retirement in 2003 brought boredom so a hobby seemed in order. My sister,
an artist, said " make me an solid, sturdy easel like this flimsy
one I bought in a art store" and so began my new hobby as an
easel maker.
In the
past 6 years I have made about 500 easels and offered a money back
guarantee. So far no one has returned one. I
figure I must be doing it right.
Most of my customer say my prices are very
reasonable, some even use the word "cheap !!"
Reasonable because you are buying from the
craftsman who made it and not paying overhead to a exporter, importer,
wholesaler or any body in the middle.
I am constantly improving my designs and
developing new designs.
I
sell easels at Arts and Crafts markets and listen to artists to find
out what features they are looking for in an easel .
My
easels are solid basic plain easels and most models do not have a finish.
They are intended to be working tools and not pieces of furniture. I

All easels are made from dry tight knot Ponderosa pine by a
old- fashion Craftsman in
the Pacific North-west.
Adjustment knobs easy to use with soft edges
Non-slip rubber feet on bottom of all easels . Hinges brass plated steel
and other nuts
and bolts bright zinc plated
All top and bottom canvas ledges fully adjustable up and down
Studio Easels have 2" deep canvas ledges
Table-top easels have ledges with a 3/4" groove for canvases and a 1/4"
groove for tempera board
All easels and items offered are sanded and have edges rounded but are
unfinished (unless specified otherwise)
. It is very easy for anyone to wipe on a finish of the new wipe on poly
urethanes with a light sand between coats.
I have not included a finish in the prices as most artist tell me they are
just going to get paint all over the
easel anyway. I can quote you a price on a two coat wipe on
poly finish on any easel if you contact me. |
