Photos of Sweden
Mostly some photos for you folks....
I stayed with craftsmen Ramon Persson's and his family in Motala. I first met him at North House a few years back. Ramon makes many things but is very well know for his birch bark canisters. Check out his site here for a eye popping experience.
Ramon took me to visit the well known tool maker Hans Karlsson's shop. It was great to see the smithy and visit with his sons Johan and Andreas, who seem to be taken over much of the business. Drew Langsner sells his tools here in the states. Check his site out here.
When in Borås I spent some time with Svening Svenningson, looking at old turned objects. This was a really nice experience as I was able to handle the bowl, boxes, etc...
I hope you enjoyed these.....there are many more to come in the next few weeks.
