Carved Chests

No Comments

Don used his state-of-the-art equipment installed at SEÑAL, S.A. to produce a commercial line of colonial style furniture pieces in volcanic pine wood. This very decorative chest with capriciously carved flowers was part of that colonial style furniture production. They came furnished with a stand to keep them off the floor thus enhancing their beauty.

You may also want to check Dick Shoemaker´s video from 1986 about Don S. Shoemaker and SEÑAL, S.A. in Santa Maria de Guido, Morelia. The video shows a few shots on the production of these beautifully carved chests.

The Don S. Shoemaker Colonial Line

No Comments

Today I will show a sample of my collection from the Don S. Shoemaker “Colonial Line”.

This sewing table is very rare and produced in alder wood.

With the compliments of Dick Shoemaker I am also able to show a sample of  SEÑAL, S.A. catalog  featuring a reproduction of a Colonial table.

With these posts, I hope that you are able to broaden your horizons about Don S. Shoemaker´s unlimited imagination and creativity. This is also to sustain what I wrote about the different activities that I described the SEÑAL, S.A. factory was involved.
