"Seward built
this chest-on-stand (16" D x 24" W x 74" H) for a gallery exhibition of
his work. The stand and door frames are made of curly walnut, and the
panels are book-matched walnut crotch wood. "Opening the doors reveals a
stack of graduated drawers faced in iridescent bird's-eye maple," Seward
said. The piece has an oil and varnish finish." |

"Michael Seward, An American Craftsman" By Walt
Harrington, August 1996 |
A journalist from the Washington Post bought a coffee table of mine from
the Main Street Gallery in Annapolis, MD. Imagine my surprise when he suggested that he write an article about my work for a
popular magazine. It was a great honor to be portrayed by Walt
Harrington in the pages of This Old House magazine.

"Oiled and buffed, the
cabinet is aflame, rich and warm in transparent reddish shades, and
tight, lavish grains."

The Custom Furniture Sourcebook by Kerry Pierce. |
This book from Taunton Press
features the work of 125 American craftsman building custom furniture
today. I'm proud to be included in this distinguished company. |
|
"...to give his work a strong sense of
visual unity, he sees to it that every bit of wood in a piece of furniture
is taken from material harvested from the same log."

Chests of Drawers
Outstanding Projects from America's Best Craftsman
by Bill Hylton. |
I have also had several pieces of my furniture published in
the Current Works section of Fine Woodworking magazine. They suggested my
work to Bill Hylton, an author writing a book about designing and building
chests of drawers. |

"...what hits you first
is the figure of the wood. When you look closer, you see the meticulous
craftsmanship."
Bill Hylton
