John Townsend Reproduction Lowboy
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: William N. Moore
Moore created this lowboy from the John Townsend original in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Because he is a hobbyist woodworker, he says he has the luxury of working on projects “only when the spirit moves” him, so the piece took about five years to make. The primary wood is walnut, with secondary woods of cherry (used for the drawer parts) and poplar. The chest is finished with hand-rubbed tung oil.
