About Me4 carved pine benches by Robert Thompson, born in 1876. He dedicated his life to the craft of carving and joinery. He taught himself to use the traditional tools and by 1919 he was experimenting with his own ideas for producing furniture based on the English styles of the 17th century. He is known as "Mousey" Thompson as these lovable creatures are found on his work.
