Here’s where I turn for hickory bark knowledge. I’m sure I’m missing good sources and reliable info, this is just a simple list of where I start.
- Peter Follansbee – joiner
- Tim Manney – chairmaker
- Jennie Alexander
- Anything by Drew Langsner – there’s a great amount of info within The Chairmaker’s Workshop
- Brian Boggs – wonderful video on hickory seats with Lie Nielsen
- Aaron Beale – (my boss at Berea College Student Craft) – worked for Brian Boggs for 10 years and knows his hickory bark
And two sources for purchasing bark:
- Newberry and Sons
- Steve Farmer: Bittersweet Woodworking, Berea, KY
