48" Watercolor Easel

24"Tabletop  Easel

   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 intended to be working tools and not pieces of furniture. If you want a piece of furniture you have to pay the price for  a piece of furniture.

 All easels are made from dry tight knot Ponderosa pine by a old- fashion Craftsman in

 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.
