A Woodworker’s Tour of Peel Mansion: Old Problems, New Tools

Peel Compton Foundation

Take a different look at Peel Mansion through the eyes of a modern woodworker. Built in 1875, the home is filled with examples of craftspeople solving many of the same problems woodworkers still encounter today—but with very different tools, materials, and methods. Local woodworker Jason Buss will explore details throughout the mansion, looking at how they may have been made, the challenges involved, and how a modern craftsperson might approach the same work today.
