Collecting easels as a genuine hobbyist
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009My Dad offered me so me of his rare easels when he moved away. I loved collecting easels when I was ten years old and owned nearly twenty different kinds. A couple of them were made in the 16th century, others made in the middle 18th century. They were not very well preserved and I had to fix a ton of scratches and gaps in the wood to make sure I could even paint on the surfaces. My Dad often helped me with his background in pottery and wood preservation. We always worked together in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
